CoTW 92 — Annie
November 2010 I have been thinking a lot about mortality this year. I am sure many of you have been as well. Starting to see more friends leaving. I have discussed this in this space already, so no need for the site to be a repository of a singular obsession. And yet, here is a …

Featured are Joe McMahon (bass), Phil Aiken (piano/organ), and Tom Polce (drums). This is the …
