hey you-all. 

•sunday i returned from three weeks touring Israel.  words can’t even describe the experience…except that it’s crazy.  historically, politically, and geographically. made some amazing friends and got profoundly inspired.  and i spent the whole trip with vosotros family member and NY keyboard extraordinaire Sam Barsh, as well as his brother Sy.  as vosotros concert goers know, Sam graced us with his skills at the lazy susan release show in February, turning the party out.  Sam brought his famed melodica to the promised land and turned the party out there too.  video on the way.

•some music that i found myself listening to in Israel: 
GEORGIA ANNE MULDROW. I REPEAT! GEORGIA ANNE MULDROW!  she is amazing.  i mean really amazing.   her record, olesi: fragments of an earth  is out on stones throw. it’s an experience.  check her out, now.

Hamlet Gonashvili.  Hailed as the voice of Georgia (the country), he sings traditional Georgian folk music. His voice is transparent, and the music is mainly acapella, with the typical accompaniment of three supporting voices.  I can’t stop listening to him…beauty. 

finally, shout out to my new friend sarah, and hair braider.

yallah bye,
g
