Emusic, Folklife and vestigial organs
I have no idea why it took well over a year, but my album Save You From Yourself is finally — finally! — available at Emusic.
Also, I just found out I’m playing Folklife again this year. I wonder if my calendar app will crash and die from surprise when I add it.
Thanks for the well-wishes regarding my recent appendix removal via email and the social twitterwebs. I was back on my feet the morning after surgery with three tiny incisions that today look more like rose thorn scratches than locations from which they removed one of my organs. Pretty amazing, still not fun.
(Also: thank god for health insurance. I know it’s romantic and stuff to be a broke-ass musician and suffer for your art, but geez guys, what if you get what you think is food poisoning and they end up taking out your appendix? Please, get some coverage. Please.)
Things have been quieter on This Old Blog than I intended. I have a backlog of songs I’m not working on, and plans for some EP releases later this year that I’ve mapped out but haven’t taken much action on. Things should pick up again next month, I hope.













Hi Scott. We were so relieved to hear that your surgery was a success and you are on the mend. Do take it easy. Even with the “small” incisions, you body still needs time to heal. Love, Margie
While reading the third paragraph of this blog post, I misunderstood the misplaced modifier “via email” and assumed that you had your appendix removed via email. Having suffered a normal appendectomy in 2006, I was incredibly curious as to the details of the method of removal.
However, upon continued reading I deduced that my attempted quick qit was indeed misapplied. Get well soon.
@Mike: it’s pretty easy, just send an email with “unsubscribe appendix” in the subject line…
I am so happy that your recovery went well.
