I have an acoustic guitar in my life again for the first time in a while. Lately I've been figuring out how to play songs I wrote on my electric four-string on this wonderfully resonant little beast.

I (a secular half-Jew) love this, and it really has to be watched all the way through at least twice to be appreciated. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lajx...

PRE-ORDER Avi Engel “Seedhead” cruelnaturerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/seedhead @aviengel.com ’s “Seedhead” is a slow-burning, folk-infused song cycle that weaves voice, electric guitar, field recordings, and collaborative instrumentation into an ecological threnody and spiritual meditation.

Feeling so down about the state of the world, AI, etc, & have a sense of pointlessness and doom that has gotten entrenched & hard to shake at this point. What is your antidote/coping strategy (if you have one)?

Any advice re: what sort of PA system/amp I should rent for a quiet outdoor back patio show? Solo vox + electric guitar. (I miss the one good aspect of FB, where I could post something like this and invariably get at least 5 or so answers, often with an argument erupting in the comments...)

I just saw this, & it really brightened my week. I recall wondering why I got a bunch of new listeners early in the year. Shows the power of radio made by humans! Thank you @themountaingoats.bsky.social and @eastvillageradio.bsky.social

Dropped the middle C initial in my name, and while I anticipated that this might confuse people, what I didn't anticipate was how many people would just hallucinate it and keep referring to me as Avi C. Engel. The C is now officially gone! 👋
