Chris Miley tracking bass flute on a new song you're about to hear a lot of. First bass flute appearance on any Broadest Blue recording. He's actually still tracking as I post this; I had to leave for work. #flute #bassflute #nychustle (at Long Island City)

Billy Graham: An American classic, but more importantly a man of God and of unimpeachable character. I was already signed up for Bible college (maybe attending?) when I first saw a crusade of his on TV (replayed in 2003/4 from the 80s) and I wanted to do exactly what he was doing. . This also seems an appropriate time to explain that the cryptic lyric "gnawing at the prophet who had tried to warn" [from The Great Expanse] refer's to Billy Graham's following account: . "Sometime toward the end of the second week in November [1963], I unaccountably felt such a burden about the presidential visit to Dallas that I decided to phone our mutual friend, Senator [George] Smathers, to tell him I really wanted to talk to the president. His secretary told me Senator Smathers was on the Senate floor and would call me back. Instead, he sent me a telegram that the President would get in touch with me directly. He thought I wanted to talk about the President’s invitation to another golf game in Florida that weekend; the game was off, he said, and would have to be rescheduled. But all I wanted to tell him and the President was one thing: 'Don’t go to Texas!'" (Just As I Am, p. 400) #billygraham #evangelist #american (at Bronx, New York)

Clocking in at 50 seconds, Treason--the instrumental introduction to the Kennedy LP--can be heard in completion right here on Instagram. Inspiration drawn from Birth Of The Cool, the woods scene from the Wizard Of Oz, and Batman (1966 TV series). Link in bio for the rest of Kennedy. #murkybrass #historicalfootage #freemusic (at Love Field, Dallas)

On this night three years ago, "Kurt Juergens And His Fellow Americans" played our very first show. The "Fellow Americans" name was meant as a joke, since the material was about presidents, the idea being that the name would change with each project. Alison, Justin, and of course my stepdad Robert have played countless shows with me/us since. #indie #memories #nyc #pianos #manhattan #lowereastside #indierock #barvenues #chamberpop #presidents #history #friendship #kennedy #thebroadestblue (at PIANOS)

We've all asked that question: "What the HELL am I gonna DO on Thursday, January 18th, after work?" Now there's an answer. An answer for all of us. Join me and @missdukesmusic for a night of song! I'll be accompanying Miss Dukes, and sprinkling in some of my songs, including new ones that have yet to be heard! #nyc #nightlife #bars #music #livemusic #manhattan #free #missdukesmusic #thebroadestblue
