* once you purchase music on Bandcamp you can stream it either directly from the page, or via their free app, which you can download on your phone. It works just like Spotify…except we (the artist) actually get paid. Weird I know.

You can be old-fashioned and download the tracks as well, but you don’t have to.

My Weekly Columns

April 29, 2022 Leave a comment

Since February of 2021 I’ve been writing two to three columns a week over at Substack. For $5 a month (the price of a nice pint!) you get access to them all. A few of ’em every month are free so you can sample the goods first. I truly appreciate all the support from my subscribers. It’s been going great so far.
