Failed Distractions

A rainy night has its charm. The sound of droplets hitting the window can be extremely relaxing, and the flickering street lights in the puddles add mystery and magic. In such an atmosphere, it is easier to immerse yourself in thoughts or a book, or simply enjoy the moment. Sometimes you can find more beauty in the rain than on a sunny day.  ❤️  Una noche lluviosa tiene su encanto. El sonido de las gotas golpeando la ventana puede ser extremadamente relajante, y las luces parpadeantes de la calle en los charcos agregan misterio y magia. En un ambiente así, es más fácil sumergirse en pensamientos o en un libro, o simplemente disfrutar del momento. A veces se puede encontrar más belleza en la lluvia que en un día soleado.  ❤️ eszczowa noc ma swój urok. Dźwięk kropel uderzających o okno może być niezwykle relaksujący, a migoczące światła uliczne w kałużach dodają tajemniczości i magii. W takiej atmosferze łatwiej się zanurzyć w myślach czy książce, bądź po prostu cieszyć się chwilą. Czasem w deszczu można znaleźć więcej piękna niż w słoneczny dzień. 

Rainy Night

Picnic in the Park  - Watch my video short! https://youtu.be/Z90D8qLSHjY?si=9lbkSdG-aeu_zr4H

A glorious day 
For a Picnic in the Park
Birds are chirping, 
Swans are swimming
Children laughing, 
The sun is grinning.
On a blanket of grass, 
We lay 
Side by side, 
Savoring each taste
Of food, drink, 
A kiss, 
On this lovely day.

Picnic in the Park

THE PRINCE OF EGYPT by REGIS MINA 2025

An STP song I recorded on the day Scott Weiland died. We spent a lot of time together and he and his music have had a profound impact on my life.

And so I know

MAINE 2025 SUNDAY ISLAND PARTY JAMS

The tents start getting folded up on Sunday morning, and the boats start shuttling dozens to the mainland, but this year, again, enough musicians and singers remain,  and, so, the Sunday Jams begin.

This music was recorded in August 2025, on an island in the middle of a big lake in Northwest Maine, where we’ve been gathering, thanks to the Loons, for decades. Many of these friends, musicians, and singers hadn’t seen each other, much less played with each other, for at least a year. It’s all improvised, a Jam, not a Performance, with no prior Rehearsals or Song Lists, so this is as real as it gets.

This album is arranged in the actual order in which the music was played, minus the many out-takes, but, when it’s all done, it seems I couldn’t have thought of a better order. The music is all acoustic Americana, though it ranges all over the place, from Bluegrass to Jazz to Folk to Country to Rock to Reggae, but it really works as an organic album, and that’s big for people like me, who still appreciate albums.

Sounds best, like you’re right on that island in Maine partying with us, when played on a good stereo with two separated speakers, left and right, or on a headset, or, one of my favorites, on a car stereo, so that this stereo recording will actually sound three-dimensional. You can hear the location of each instrument and singer. More than ever before, I was able to immerse myself (and my stereo pair of mics) into the belly of the music, literally surrounded by the musicians, the instruments, voices, and harmonies, so that, if you listen in true stereo, I can take you right in there with me.

On some songs, there’s a little too much chatter, but when you’re actually at a campfire, and people are talking, laughing, and partying, you filter that out, and the only thing you hear is the music. Crank it up, and let your imagination take you there, and enjoy. It’ll surprise you.
