Positively 12th Street: Down in Ashtabula
http://positively12thstreet.blogspot.com/2010/01/down-in-ashtabula.html
Music, more or less. Saturday, January 16, 2010. I received the following in an email from my friend Brian. Words are from the song "Down in Ashtabula" by David Francey. Ashtabula means "river of many fish" in the Iroquois language. It was mentioned in a song by Bob Dylan. In the line "I'll look for you in old Honolulu.

Positively 12th Street: OT: Jury Duty 2006
http://positively12thstreet.blogspot.com/2011/06/ot-jury-duty-2006.html
Music, more or less. Tuesday, June 14, 2011. OT: Jury Duty 2006. I found the below in the draft folder of my email, from 2006. Interesting memory. I am back to New York, just finished up my jury duty. It lasted exactly two days. Extremely interesting in a slowed-down sort of way- I would have enjoyed a full week I think. When they called me up I was like the 4th person in a row who had been summarily excused from the same seat. I told him that I worked in a bank and had money laundering training....They ...

Positively 12th Street: December 2009
http://positively12thstreet.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Music, more or less. Sunday, December 27, 2009. Adventures in Winter Busking. Yesterday being a wash-out which cleared away most of the snow, and today being an unseasonably warm 50 degrees and sunny, I decided to spend a little while playing for money at a spot that looked to me like it had a lot of potential when I walked by it a couple of weeks ago. 2) There seemed to be a lot of European tourists. Maybe they don't appreciate American folk and country music as much as the locals do. And maybe ...3) Th...

http://positively12thstreet.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Music, more or less. Sunday, July 13, 2008. Thanks to Pete, Dan and all those who played and sang at WSP yesterday. The park is 2/3 closed due to renovation, but they have found a nice shady spot near the eastern edge of the park. Yesterday it was even quiet. Here are a couple of photos I found on the internet from last year, before the renovations started. Labels: washington square park. Sunday, July 06, 2008.

She had her time. May she rest in peace. It is unfortunate that with so much talent and success, she still could not find happiness. Not a shame she killed her self oh well.

Positively 12th Street: July 2011
http://positively12thstreet.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Music, more or less. Friday, July 29, 2011. Then I started to feel a little better, and I decided fuck it, if no one gives me anything then I would keep playing until the sun went down whether anyone appreciated it or not. For a brief moment I thought: "Well maybe I just suck today," but I talked myself out of it. Half the time when I think I really suck someone tells me it's great, so what does that matter?
