   About Lady Lazarus
Making and singing my own songs is a recent discovery for me. Creating is not. I have drawn and painted since I was a child, and have written (poetry, essays, stories) for almost as long. Now, I suppose I'm trying to fly.

I have been down and up; lately, mostly up.

Most of the time, I live in reality with a stubborn buffer of imagination/emotion. I like to be at home as often as can, with tea, creating. I like the woods. I like being alone. I like sharing and talking about creative processes with friends. I am lucky to know such giving people. I like to tell it slant. I look clean, but curse like a sailor.

I like characters, they seem to be drawn to me. I collect "crazy people," I say lovingly (b/c I am one).

Sometimes I feel like a mill house, a mole; my creative fuel is the stuff of life. That's just how I process living. That's how I live.

I've seen a bit of this country, driving, flying, by train ("ah, the best way"), and have fallen in love with it. I'd like to see more though--and over again. I want to see the world. I'd live twice, but know enough to make this one count.

try to catch me before I singe my glittering Icarus wings.

Mama Buzz Open mic

My attempts to create an Open at the Mama Buzz Cafe have failed. The
will be no open mic at the Mama Buzz cafe. The "Every Second Sunday"
open mic has been double booked for the second month in a row. It is
clear I'm not suited to be the host of an open mic. Thank you all for
your interest and support. My sincerest apologies to all musicians
poets that hoped and even planned for this open mic.



Best of wishes to all.

Ha! I knew you couldn't have used sonic sticks. They're too busy always changing form to record music. Unless you're Brian Eno.

Hey kiddo,
How did your show go at Misson St. last week? I hope it was well received.

I had a gig that night in Gilroy and then just got back from two down in SLO and Paso Robles.

Take care,

Tom

I am holding a 4-string instrument from Thailand. Someone brought it back from there as a gift. Not much music came out of it but it sure looks interesting. I'm on Bethany Curve in Santa Cruz and the garbage can just happened! Glad you like it. I always thought this one captured something essential about Tom Bone.....hehe!!


Those are work clothes. Painting I was doing....
