- [Boor at the Bell Tower Cultural Center](https://jermboor.net/?p=6094) - The Bell Tower Cultural center is on the corner of my block in lovely downtown Florence, Colorado. Built in 1898, the building was originally a Baptist Church. It still looks like a particularly attractive specimen of one of those, and it's still used as a church on Sundays by the local Mennonites. But the rest

- [The Sixth Third Friday at Blue Lucy Takeout](https://jermboor.net/?p=5029) - Well, folks, it's almost time for another lovely evening of music and free meatballs at Blue Lucy Takeout, Colorado Spring's hippest and furthest underground DIY {but D Wh Y, exactly?} music venue, cleverly disguised as the Law Offices of Cross and Associates on Colorado Avenue, right across the street from Downtown Spirits. This is the

- [Blue Lucy](https://jermboor.net/?p=4813) - This thing has changed names, and will probably do so a couple more times. But it's a great space and you really should check it out, friends. It's across the street from Downtown Spirits, in an building that declares itself to be the law offices of Cross & Associates. I guess it's still that, except
- [Boor at Black Rose](https://jermboor.net/?p=4760) - This: was fun. In fact, I would say that the Black Rose Acoustic Society is the world's listeningest room. It is, after all, a subscription-based group dedicated exclusively to the curation and presentation of the best possible music based on traditional acoustic string instruments. Electric bass is sometimes allowed, but no electric guitars and no
- [Boor at Monkey Mind Studios](https://jermboor.net/?p=4728) - Every once in a while, you meet a lawyer who a owns a weird-looking building in Downtown Colorado Springs. This lawyer still runs his practice out of the building, but that only takes one room. The rest of the building is filled with paintings and antique vending machines; one room is set up as a
- [Waterloo Bridge and Ayahuasca Redux](https://jermboor.net/?p=4186) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOl0d-m70Bk Every year, sometime in May, I think that I will record John Elwood Cook's "Memorial Day" and publish it on Memorial Day. This year I made a sincere effort at the last minute. I failed to meet the deadline, but wound up with a different Cook song, plus a redo of my own "Ayahuasca"

- [Shortnin Bread](https://jermboor.net/?p=4098) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WKwL55GcSU If you're playing something and it starts to sound enough like "Shortnin Bread" to remind you of "Shortnin Bread," then it's going to wind up at "Shortnin Bread" before long. So you might as well just call it "Shortnin Bread" and let it happen. That's what I did and I have no regrets.
- [The Record of the Ten Foot Square Hut](https://jermboor.net/?p=4051) - https://jermboor.net/snd/10ftsqHut.2.mp3 Ah, what the heck. The Words: The river flows and goes; it's on unceasingly. Whatever water is, it's other than it's gonna be. Bubbles on the surface disappear; they don't for long. And all the nippers that I knew back in the day are gone. Seen a tremor. Seen a fire. Seen a typhoon.

- [Uncle Bud's Interment](https://jermboor.net/?p=3234) - This is one of those songs in which I merely take some real events and make them rhyme. The color of the pickup truck has been changed for metrical reasons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFZkbbuC91M The Words: Well, the first time you met my family It was Uncle Bud's Interment. He was in an igloo cooler In a yellow
- [Crown Shy](https://jermboor.net/?p=3158) - I finally released this odd thing that I did about year ago. It has trombones and accordion, and there was a lovely sculpture of a Ling Cod hanging above the pool table in the large room where it was recorded. There was also an Ocean nearby. Crown Shy by Jerm Boor
- [Benjamin Jowett (re-run)](https://jermboor.net/?p=2295) - This song is about the 19th-Century British classicist and translator Benjamin Jowett, but mainly in the way in which spanish moss is about a branch. Songs 2009-2019 by Jerm Boor Jowett's students, allegedly, wrote a verse about him, which is useful for pronouncing his last name: My name is Benjamin Jowett And if it is
- [Jesse James](https://jermboor.net/?p=3104) - Jesse James by Jerm Boor I have a novelty song problem. The Words: Well the Outlaws of Old, they were famous, they were bold. They all obtained the famousest of fame. But the famousest of names in the Outlaw Hall of Fame Was the famous name of a guy by the name of Jesse James.
- [George Washington and Ayahuasca](https://jermboor.net/?p=2901) - Here's a song about ayahuasca, and (another) one about George Washington. Ayahuasca by Jerm Boor I wasn't sure if the ayahuasca one would offend people who are into ayahuasca, so I sent this draft to my friend Jason, who is into ayahuasca like it's going out of style. He liked it (the song), and so
- [Microstudy #2](https://jermboor.net/?p=3081) - Here's another one of these. I tried to make it good because, like they say, "Etude? Don't make it bad." Microstudy #2 by Jerm Boor
- [Throw Me Out of the Ballgame](https://jermboor.net/?p=2999) - Throw Me Out of the Ballgame by Jerm Boor
- [Things That Were Lying Around](https://jermboor.net/?p=3015) - I've been cleaning my room. Here are two odd tracks found dribbling into oblivion like pebbles down a long hill of sand displaced by an excavator. (1) "Chicken Hush," recorded live at Big Star Bar in Houston about ten years ago. When I found this recording I did not recognize the tune; it sounds different
- [Album Release by the Fogline Musicians Guild](https://jermboor.net/?p=3072) - All right, folks! Here's the long awaited magnum opus of the one and only Fogline Musicians Guild, Sonoma County's premier jingle ensemble: Use the Turnouts by The Fogline Musicians Guild
- [I'm On a Podcast](https://jermboor.net/?p=3053) - My old chum Jason Gots has a podcast. He solicits words from people, writes a story around the word, sends the word to artists and musicians and asks them to make stuff too. Then he interviews someone famous that I've never heard of. The word Jason sent me a few months ago was "crown shyness."
- [Microstudy #1](https://jermboor.net/?p=3041) - Here's a tune that's only twenty-nine seconds long. It exists only to give me an opportunity to try out my new bass. https://jermboor.net/snd/microstudy1.mp3 There's also a picture of some taxidermed bunnies doing math. Have a nice day.
- [Outlaw Ballads and Highway Safety](https://jermboor.net/?p=2893) - 1: rough take of an allegedly humorous song about Jesse James. This one is a hit with the bursting outdoor crowds at the Fort Ross Store, who especially like the audience participation element, which is not represented on the recording, which has so far produced a sentence groaning under a multitude of subordinate clauses, so
- [PSA on Mask-Wearing](https://jermboor.net/?p=2989) - Just in time (I hope) for irrelevance, here's a video by Sally Foster, featuring the Fogline Musicians Guild, commissioned by Sonoma County, etc. https://vimeo.com/520013496
- [Traffic PSAs by the Fogline Musicians Guild](https://jermboor.net/?p=2907) - Three PSAs by the Fogline Musicians' Guild are now live on the old-fashioned FM radio at KTDE Gualala and KGUA Gualala. And we are daily embiggening the radius of our effluence. Today Gualala, tomorrow Fort Bragg; maybe even Guerneville. No one is safe from highway safety. Two of the founding members of the FMG will
- [Eleven Lenten Limericks](https://jermboor.net/?p=2859) - Look! Look! A new song. It is made of limericks, eleven of them in fact. Eleven Lenten Limericks by Jerm Boor Like another song of mine, this one began with an intentional misreading of the letters of Herman Melville. It started out whimsical and only slightly introspective, but became more Lenten as it went on,
- [Fort Ross Folk Revival](https://jermboor.net/?p=2885) - This is now a regular thing. I'm playing every Saturday, 5-8 pm, at the Fort Ross Store. Sometimes there will be others, too.
- [The Record of the Ten Foot Square Hut](https://jermboor.bandcamp.com/track/mettius-fufetius-2) - The Record of the Ten Foot Square Hut Sucker Nippers better step -- MC Kamo-no-Chomei in the hut. https://jermboor.net/snd/hut.mp3 Download Kamo-no-Chomei was a 12th-century Japanese recluse. Overwhelmed by the vanity of worldy affairs, he fled to the wilderness to spend his last years in a tiny hut. He wrote a lovely book about his life,
- [Mendovine, not Gualala Hotel](https://jermboor.net/?p=2723) - In another hilarious and extremely professional misunderstanding, I am playing at Mendovine in Gualala this Friday, *NOT* at Gualala Hotel. I repeat: Mendovine, not Gualala Hotel. 7-10 pm. Friday November 15 2019.

- [John Elwood Cook, 1946-2019](https://jermboor.net/?p=2516) - On this Wednesday, March 20, 2019, the soul of one John Elwood Cook crossed the St. Lawrence River to rest, I hope, on some sun-mantled island, surrounded by fat muskellunge and bass, not a single rock bass, priceless acoustic guitars, and beer. John was a family friend and (to fail to avoid the cliche) a
- [The Vocally Trained Coyotes](https://jermboor.net/?p=2632) - I'll be leaving Colorado soon. Before that happens I wanted to get together with some friends of mine who have been fun to play with. They are mostly singers. During an afternoon-long unrehearsed recording session and fish fry, we set down six songs: three of mine, two of Mearlan's, and one of Mallory Ferraro's. Mallory
- [Farewell, Colorado, for Now](https://jermboor.net/?p=2629) - I am taking a sort of poor man's sabbatical in the coming Academic year, and will not be consistently located in the state of Colorado. Over the summer I'll be back and forth across the US a couple of times, maybe even appearing near you. Colorado has been great for the past five years. Perhaps

- [Cogstone Show Soon](https://jermboor.net/?p=2495)
- [The Beautiful Waitress](https://jermboor.net/?p=2216) - A song by Terry Allen, interpreted by J. Boor: http://www.jboor.net/snd/waitress.mp3 More folks should listen to Terry Allen. He's great. Lubbock: on Everything, whence this song, is my favorite of his records. His songwriting and performance are both sui generis. This is a Latin phrase which, I suspect, Allen would understand, but then interpret as "soo-ee
- [Why You Shouldn't Eat an Elephant](https://jermboor.net/?p=2408) - In honor of Thanksgiving Day, I present the following poetastrical pamperistrophe, composed several years ago by its own author, myself namely. Why You Shouldn't Eat an Elephant You shouldn't eat an elephant Because they're so intelligent. You might think that's irrelevant, But I would disagree. Besides, it's hard to sell events Involving eating elephants, And
- ["10' sq. Hut" w/ Guest Beat-Boxer Abbey Banta](https://jermboor.net/?p=2387) - A couple weeks ago at Pikes Peak Market I was unexpectedly joined by beatboxer Abbey Banta on my only rap song, the Record of the Ten Foot Square Hut. I had never performed with a beatboxer before. That's My Name Is Harriett cracking up, as usual.
- [WWIV](https://jermboor.net/?p=2356) - I read in a popular magazine that a famous movie person has made a biographical film about Blaze Foley. That was a clever thing to do. Now, to prove how cool I really am, and to participate in all of the fanfare that is sure to result from Blaze Foley's birth into a wider sphere
- [This Should be Fun](https://jermboor.net/?p=2265) - ... and, in fact, it was. I was especially impressed by the loop-pedal/violin/ukulele/vocal compositions of My Name is Harriett. Those of you who know me will recognize the rarity of a positive sentence involving the phrase "loop pedal" issuing from me. Harriett's name is spelled with two t's. Only an complete idiot would ever spell
- [Saturday August 25 at the Stagecoach Inn](https://jermboor.net/?p=2245) - Announcing the first in a series of gigs at the Stagecoach Inn in Manitou, here is the first of a series of posters made from old photos. Most of the photos shall have been taken inside one of two bars in upstate NY once owned and operated by grandmother. A few will be of other

- [Pinball Townes Wants You to Hear Jerm Boor at Tap Traders this Weekend](https://jermboor.net/?p=2143) - The ghost of Townes Van Zandt appeared to me, playing pool on a pinball machine at the back of the Liberty in Austin last week. He stared intently without moving throughout all of my sets and those of the acts that followed. A busty blonde honky-tonk gal peeked over his shoulder. I don't know why
- [Boor in Austin (SXSW)](https://jermboor.net/?p=2120) - Austin dates are currently as follows: March 14, 4 pm at Nomad Bar; March 14-17, 6pm at the Liberty. Yes, I'm playing two sets two hours apart at two places on Wednesday. Look at this nice poster which Bryan Nelson of the Liberty cooked up using an original painting by Celeste Ryder.
- [Tale of Ineptitude](https://jermboor.net/?p=2067) - The lovely flyer to the left is inaccurate by one month! Somehow I got confused upon the initial setup of this gig and transferred it from March to February. If you go to Tap Traders this Saturday, you will hear Nick Davey, not me. I will be there listening to Nick Davey and personally apologizing
- [Upcoming Musical Engagements](https://jermboor.net/?p=2033) - I shall be playing music publicly several times in the near future. On Tuesday, February 13 : a nice long set at Axe and the Oak whiskey distillery in Colorado Springs, around 7:30 pm. Also singing his own sets shall be Mearlan. Besides that, I have been frequenting a songwriters' circle at the Stage Coach

- ["You at Sunset" by Maria Moss](https://jermboor.net/?p=107) - Maria Moss is a fingerpickin' guitarist and, as I recently learned, a very talented songwriter. Maria plays with Jon Hogan and his Brighter Day Stringband. The two of them seem to do a lot of touring as a dynamic duo, while the rest of the Brighter Day chills in Austin. At their last gig here,
- [Playing at the Owl (was fun)](https://jermboor.net/?p=1964) - I will be playing at the Owl Music Parlor in Brooklyn, NY on the evening of Thursday, July 27, 2017. I'm following a jazz group called Ochion Jewell and friends, whose set begins at 8:30 pm. Mine begins an hour later. Bring your friends. Bring your family. Bring your friends' families.

It is named after a dam in the state of West Virgina. The first part of this tune used to be part of an older tune, which had some other stuff in it that I
