Dreams

Many Americans look like Matt Parker so as we worked together over the years I would often think I was seeing him on the street. Once mask-wearing started, you couldn’t see faces so these daily hallucinations stopped and moved into my night dreams instead. matt parker shooting pool, matt parker fly-fishing, matt parker gambling, matt parker roller skating, matt park…….

Musical Notes

Everyman P is a jovial combination of street beat and early-jazz swagger. A street parking emergency necessitated the early departure of the bassist so rXb lowered his left hand to the bottommost depths of the eighty-eight keys and away the newly minted trio went. There is an extra beat now and again but don't let that depress you. It’s a happy addition! Even in the harshest of times, a light-hearted song can be actualized.
