TALKING SHOP: Thanks so much to Banner Driskell for having me on the Rhinestone Podcast (YouTube channel). We covered a lot of ground in an hour! Link in first comment.
THE ARISTOCRATS' EARLY HOLIDAY SALE: Who needs Black Friday when you can have Random Aristocratic Tuesday? We've got some extra stock (USA shirts, beanies, and Duck Deluxe packages) and it's that time of year for early gift buyers. And by that time of year, I mean "the time when people talk about holiday stuff way too soon". We've never actually done this sale thing before. Are we bad capitalists? Feel free to help us find out. 😉 ![]()

(Link in first comment - USA shop only, though international shipping is available!)
So I saw the movie "Mandy" for the first time last night. Wholesome date night fare!
JUMPING ON THE PROG BANDWAGON: Many thanks to Sven Henriksen and all at The Band Wagon USA for bringing me onboard as an artist for their progressively-minded online shop. Always happy to shine a light on folks flying the flag for our strange little corner of the music world! (Link in the first comment.)
PLEASE HELP LEGENDARY GUITAR TECH THOMAS NORDEGG: I humbly ask you, the good people following this account, to consider donating to support the healthy recovery of someone who has helped me and many other musicians countless times over the decades. Thomas Nordegg was Frank Zappa’s guitar tech in the 80’s, Steve Vai’s tech for many years, and one of the very first people I met in Los Angeles when I arrived in to join Dweezil Zappa’s band in 1993. He built me a custom split pedalboard in the 1990s that I still use to this very day! He is a true wizard and a kind soul who has relentlessly worked for years to make things better for musicians. ![]()

As you can see in the GoFundMe (please read it all), he was in a motorcycle accident and could really use some assistance. I donated and I invite you to consider doing so as well, in any amount that is feasible for you. Thank you for reading - and to Thomas, I send wishes for a Time$peed-y recovery. (IYKYK)![]()
