I know, I know, it’s been essentially all of December since I did anything, including posting up the shows we did this month. Truth is, it was just a brutal month on the personal side of things and I didn’t have the time. Things have stabilized here at the end, so now I’m catching up, before I take another break until next week. This show was at the very beginning of December, before a two-week break for fundraising, features a few newer things and a couple things that I should have played more of earlier in the year. Wasn’t quite able to cram everything in, so I had to cut off the William Onyeabor track at the end, but there always seems to be not enough time and too much music. I’ll do my best to keep it regular in 2014…
