My very first entry! I'll add a poem, it feels like a good way to start.

This poem is going to be at the beginning of the title track of my album, Sand Dollars in a Silver Pail. I got my best friends in the whole world to each record themselves saying a line:

Over the grapevine they kept

Travel magnets on the fridge 

Stocked with pears and heavy cream

My great aunts are kitchen witches

I thought by now I’d be salting scrambled eggs

In the city adjacent they kept

Traditional Japanese decor 

An old yeller and swimming pool

My cousins and I spent 4th of July as mermaids

I thought by now I’d be setting off morning glories

Off the bay they kept 

Sand dollars in a silver pail

The back porch always baby blue and dewy

My grandpa and I ate cherries

We spit the pits into the ditch

I thought by now a cherry tree would’ve grown
