Well, this summer was a whirlwind of time. I played more music than I ever have during one season. I've begun to shift into a period of time that I always really enjoy: home (more on this later). In June, I toured with the incomparable Richard Julian. I recommend …

Here's another deep cut from the meanderings I've collected together for listening. Maybe you know Milton from somewhere. Listen attentively and consider your vote this election. I'm trying to. I think this song could win American Idol if someone sang it right or …
