I came up with Bohemian because while I do feel that I am reckless, and stubborn, and often find myself herding cattle metaphorically I am still not quite ready to break out in chaps. So I extrapolated and decided that the original renegades of our modern era were the bohemians. Educated, literate, and expatriated. The Bohemians chose to live abroad, and to write, think, and dream in a way that ultimately shaped the 20th century.

Bohemian
noun
1. A Native of Bohemia
2. A person who has informal and unconventional social habits, esp. an artist or writer

The idea comes from the gypsies of France in the 19th century. These south eastern Europeans arrived in wagons with miracle elixirs, tonics, powders, drugs, and songs to captivate the wealthy and the poor alike. They held bonfires, and danced and fired the imaginations of westerners who were ready for the Victorian era to end. But the name was adopted by Americans who were, at the turn of the 20th century, unwilling to comply with the traditional values of family, wealth and work. They boarded boats and sailed away to write, to dream, to love whomever they loved, and see more of the world than the back half of an office or the dull brocades of a sitting room. And as the result the expression became synonymous with deadbeats and vagabonds. Any non-conformist was branded a Bohemian, very much like being called a Punk, or a Hippie today.

The bohemians gave us the concept of the modern literary novel, writing in the first person, blank verse, the open mic, the memoir, uncommissioned art, free love, polyamory, art for art’s sake, and more. Virtually every wistful virtue of anyone who ever stared out into the sky, or the sea or the endless horizon is sharing a moment with the bohemians of 1910.

And so I grabbed my records, a few CD’s and some digital files and brought an impromptu lullaby into being. I mixed the bourgeois with the antique and found middle ground in Kraftwerk and Carl Craig. I did not apologize for my slurring words, my silence, or my stumbling beats between Masters and Work and Nina Simone. I crossed breaks with techno, and then dove into deep house with all my heart, and then danced to disco with nothing on but sunglasses and a silver chain around my neck.

I can’t think of anything else I want to share with you now apart from my wide eyes, and bright heart for 2012. The year has danced into my life like no other I can remember. We are only here at the lips of February and yet I am happier than I have been in such a long time. I am more hopeful and inspired than I can ever remember being.

I want to dance with you. I want to share this love with you.

I spent a few hours on the web/telephone attempting to sort out another flight. Having no luck, I decided to actually go to the airport and work it out in person.

Turns out all of the flights from SFO to BWI, National, Dulles, and anywhere reasonably close to Baltimore have been cancelled today. On United, Continental, USAir, and everyone else.

We are experiencing heavy fog and rain at the airport, it’s true, but it seems outrageous to me.

Regardless I rebooked on a red eye flight which has me arriving through Chicago at 8:45 am tomorrow. So I’m sad to say that I will not be able to make it tonight.

1. I am already working on a make-up show with the promoters. I’ll get back to Baltimore asap and we’ll party baby. I promise.

2. Anyone who was planning on going tonight – GO TO THE PARTY – Leave your name with the door and I’ll collect that list an add you all as my guests for tomorrow night’s Dubtribe show at U Street Music Hall in DC.

I am so sad about this.
I love you.
See you soon.

Enjoy!

delight in the light of love brings us to the end of 2011. For the first time in a very long time it is a year’s closing which I am not exhausted, a little angry, and so glad to see it go. I had a very good year. This year I got back to work. I (very very nearly) completed two album, resolved long standing debts, amended ancients errors, grew substantially, found a voice for this nagging music in my heart which has gone silent for much too long, asked for help, learned to let love in a little better, learned to take a minute for myself, asked good questions and didn’t get angry that there were no easy answers, I traveled far and wide and can only think of one “bad” show, I was more patient, more gentle, more loving, and more devoted to my community than ever. Last year I left 2010 behind more than 5 months behind in my rent, and was living in a state of terror and stress so deep that the alopecia on the back of my head looked like someone had punk’d me at a party. This year I am nearly caught up, I have food in the cupboards, ideas and plans, hope in my heart, and the mark of stress on the back of my head is a mere dot or two. I’ve got bookings into june of next year. I’ve got an album to license, collaborations in process and planned, work to do, and energy to undertake them. It may sound like a small transition to you, but for me, the stubborn one, the man who does what he does, loves what he does, and would rather die than surrender or give in to the constantly nagging internal voice which says “give up,’ this is huge progress. I am encouraged and empowered by all of the beautiful and amazing music that just keeps flowing, and more and more I feel that I am absolutely free to be myself, and to express myself with you. I may be a fool, but I am becoming a very happy and productive fool.

I want to thank you for listening. Thank you for joining me in this journey to delight in the light of love together. Your encouragement, your words, your time, your ear, your movement, your hearts simply mean the world to me. It’s why I’m here, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you.

May the stars above you shimmer and shine. Guiding your heart from wherever you are, all the way home. Delighting your mind, and sparkling in your eyes. And may all your sundays have soul.
