IT'S NOT FOR LACK OF TRYING, IT'S FOR LACK OF SUCCESS

So in the random nature that things seem to go, I ended up jumping ship for a bit to run to Reno for a job. Reno was everything I had hoped for, totally weird, lightly ghetto, uncharacteristic of any other place I'd been (except maybe for Hastings St. in Vancouver), and with outlying areas that made me envision a Mad Max western movie. Now I'm working my way back to the boat and hoping the culture shock I felt submerging myself back in everyday America won't make returning to the Armada fold difficult. I've been hanging out in Chicago for a couple days enjoying the great hospitality of some old friends. It has definitely helped me feel better about this mildly rough and unexpected transition. Ah, but the Mississippi awaits. . .

MP3:

Apologies for that last track I posted (a little too scribbly for my tastes). Guess I get what I deserve when I put something up I've never heard before. Here's a track I have heard and like very much. Seems a good choice as Fall is starting to warm up to transform the landscape into what my childhood fantasies have always looked like.
