GlensideLocal.com Article
Check out this article from GlensideLocal.com about Be Home By Dinner.
Before heading to work one morning, I met up with Randy Garbin of GlensideLocal.com at Elcy’s Cafe to discuss Be Home By Dinner and self publishing. This was probably the worst exhausted photo that I’ve seen of myself in a while, but what can you do when toddlers crawl in your bed at night and turn your queen bed into a slumber party?

Sharon Van Etten
Effects and synth drenched. A song that questions an uncertain and criminal past.

Khruangbin & Leon Bridges
Khruangbin has been an instrumental go-to for the past few years. It’s great to listen to at work, relaxing, cooking — anything. It’s super positive and thought provoking. Their newer collaborations with Leon Bridges are soulful bliss. They complement each other well.

Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio
Soulful, funky head-bobbing instrumentals. Kind’ve like a slimmed down Booker T. and MGs. Will get you in a good mood.

Snow Daze
Six or seven inches fell in Glenside in late January 2022. It was a blur of fun with the kids, soon washed away with rain and mid 50s temps days later. Wes built his “Wesley Mountain” in the front yard, which is always the last thing to completely melt. It’s still there now actually, an iceberg on the muddy lawn. We had several deer show up in our backyard looking for food. One of them kept poking at the bird feeder.

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
Here’s a music video of Wes and Simone singing “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town” with me on the Spire Studio. The video contains clips from the Ambler Holiday Parade, Longwood Gardens and decorating our Christmas tree. Speaking of which, we had to return our tree this year after it stopped drinking water after a couple days. We had to remove all of the ornaments and get a new one. The sellers at the North Penn VFW were cool about it and didn’t charge us for the second one.
