Hard to explain for first-time readers how we get from Dartmouth 86-shirt to Korean-Swedish clarinet klezmer, but here is Rebecca Erickson from a few years back (rumor has it she works in social services and haunts the Walker — if you ever see this: here’s $500 commission if you can add syncopation and melody to my “Cherry Pie Colgado” riff, which is just words at this point, and pictures. Serious, man).
My new super stupid (i.e. “smart”) phone will not tell me if my cousin is married to a Florida or a Florida state, but the computer found me this shot, I was looking for a few months back. Ornette)

Beth Custer gratuitous photo post here: has part of a commission in her bank and her left brain-thingy.
