Good Evening, Jesse

I have a new electric bike and was riding and playing your song Legacies and many birds joined in with song and dance. Each pass of the same path brought more birds. It truly felt like a fairly tale with me feeling like Snow White.

Thank you Jesse. Loved the music you have shared here. So atmospheric and ethereal in parts. When I first heard Legacies, and maybe due to Eric’s drumming, I had the same feeling when listening as to late 60’s Pink Floyd … maybe from Meddle but could be from an even earlier album.

Not Legacies … which I really love your voice. It was the other piece that you haven’t named. 🙌✨

Wow. That was wonderful Jesse. I have been dipping in and out and listening to all this amazing music. You and Eric obviously have a great connection when making music and l wish him Happy Birthday 🥳. I particularly liked the Belle Epoch video and music so magical.

I have a friend who l met on Twitter during lockdown . He makes amazing music by recording trees and plants. Every Friday he sent a group of us a new recording, it was mind blowing and so good to listen to. His name is Alex H. Duncan @sndassassin on Twitter. He has a new album out on Irregular Patterns it’s called The Path. He’s just a dad and a music teacher who’s trying to lead a natural life with nature and just a kind person. Check him out if you want, no pressure it’s just when l listened to some of your recordings l thought of him. I love how nature and birds binds us all together. Have a lovely day 🙏

I love your song Legacies! I've been listening all day. Your ukulele and accompanying music is delicately beautiful like a flower, as is your sweet singing. Each listen feels like I'm being touched by an angel.

"Yes, we will sleep again."

I love your lyrics. I think of the golden twin towers. I think of birds flying with golden wings shining in the sun. I remember. I will always remember.

I sensed there was a song for my soul and so I scrolled. I'll be back to read the rest.

Today I made strides in my fight against discrimination. It's been over a year since my fight began. I have the backing of the Attorney General who has uncovered a conspiracy to fake rent rates in Arizona cities. My apartment complex being first named.

It's the year of the dragon. May there be justice for all. Especially Mother Earth who has sent us the grey whale as a sign of hope.

Goodnight, Jesse

I’m enjoying these pieces while I wait for this grey afternoon lull to turn into a thunderstorm. The birds are quiet, so they must be waiting, too. What a nice way to honor someone on their birthday! Thank you for sharing the music and your process with us. There’s joy here :). Happy Birthday to Tom!!!

This was such a delight, to read and watch and look and listen. Happy birthday to Eric, and may the luminous thread continue to weave you together in more creative projects to come. I really loved this. Much needed beauty for a Wednesday lunch break.
