These are the photos for my 2026 calendar. Got the proofs today. Should have the hard copies in 2 weeks. Always agonizing to pick 13 of my photos for the next one. The last few years I’ve had to use older ones too. I don’t get out to shoot as much anymore. I’m hoping that will improve. I’ve volunteered to be a photographer for the city park dept. I’ll take pics of people engaged in the parks and activities, and whatever else I see.

It's February, Chicago, 1916, second-string kids from New Orleans, like The Stones at the Marquee, get there to fill a spot, it's fricken freezing, promoter gets overcoats from Sally Ann, all oversized. March lands a gig at Schiller's Cafe. Nick says to ramp it up, invents a new dance fitting the bustle. Gig is white band, lower East Side, what's chances that drunk in the back is Irish? Jazz it up boys, he shouts! Wtf? sez Nick, but he liked the sound of it…

#GodspeedBrewery may have a Schiller's Moment Wed Jan 28th 6-9 😊

I was #retrocomputing on modern hardware today. I bought some Jaz drives for moving files to retro machines. I could never get them working on the retro machines. Turns out two out of three drives were no good. So, that explains that frustration.....

i got a bit obsessed with the modern lovers this year & attempted to assemble a complete-as-possible 1970-1974 live chronology. it's far from complete, but found lots of fun stuff, including a setlist for what might be the 1st gig & ads for their shows in bermuda. https://jessejarnow.com/2025/12/the-mo<…

This week's #ThursdayFiveList is #RainyDayMusic ☔ Being in the desert, I always want more rain, we get so little. These five have Creedence bookends and start off with John asking if you've seen the rain, but then eventually it becomes too much, and then he asks who'll stop it
