...a promo pic from a coffeehouse gig I did in Concord, CA (at the Panama Red Cafe), Sunday, January 22, 2012.

I had been wanting to reconcile the "nerd" and the "artiste".... thus the "Ion Monkey" (it's Mozilla's new JIT compiler) t-shirt.  The set had a host of short jazz pieces, mostly intros, some culled and influenced by one of my favorite jazz guitarists, Joe Pass.   Which of course, sounded amazing on acoustic guitar.

Links to some of the live stuff, to come.

Fall tour of the Acoustic Circuit, S.F. Bay Area

From Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse, Berkeley,  November 22, 2011

If I don't (yet) get to unleash the beast on my software evangelism (a quintessentially nerdy pursuit) the least I can do is hit the acoustic singer/songwriter music circuit around the Bay area (which I'm currently doing).  It's only been a few short weeks since I've started touring regularly in addition to my awesome day job  (longer geographic swaths in the works on both the music and work fronts), but it's already been a hell of a ride.
