Four...!! Teen...!! Years...!!

have passed, it seems, since AndR remembered he had this blog and decided to post upon it.  An entire human has grown since then (probably several, actually).  And I am 41 years on this earth!

Why this now?  Well, there's been a minor reincarnation of the being known as Nodal Nim.  Remember him?  Ok if not.  I did lots of things in those oughts that were other than that.  I think it's fair to say that Nodal Nim died in Urbana, Illinois.  (It's ok; he does that sometimes.)  But several years of musical funk (not the good kind of funk) separate me from those things.  And, inspired by the incomparable Jacob Barton, I decided to find a mandolin (thank you Library of Things) and remind myself of some songs that go well at open mic.  Mandolin is freedom.

I played at the Wakery acoustic open mic.  And here's the set:

.. Love Song 5

.. You And Mandolins

.. 25% More Monster

.. Vegetables You've Never Heard Of

My old mando is in the shop now, and maybe it'll be lovely and new again!  And I plan to write new songs!  I am surprised to discover that the world may need him again.  Or at least, I do, and since I exist in the world, I think it counts.

Long live Nodal Nim!
