Jim of Seattle

Laid up with Covid, grateful for a day game on MLB tv! #whereiroot

I just opened Twitter for the first time in six months. So, hey there. I have a new album in the works. Song list and title and even the cover are done already.

Please give me money. Promoted.

Shown here is an actual #Starburst minis bag, with a note indicating the picture is not actual size... Yeah, the actual candy (shown here) is actually bigger and more appetizing than the picture on the bag. When have you ever seen that?

59. I just broke the record for the oldest age I've ever been in which I discovered I was spelling a word wrong all along.

We all need to self-promote from time to time. I wrote this song in like 2005 or so and I was referring to social media. Seems 10x more appropriate now. open.spotify.com/track/189Qg…

What at first seems like a nice if not unusual Brazilian ballad, takes a delightfully unusual turn for the last 60 seconds. What a pretty surprise! Até Quem Sabe by Gal Costa open.spotify.com/track/4jP4q… #NowPlaying

Stirring yet picayune addendum: Jim of Seattle Christmas Version 2 now also available on YouTube: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL… via @YouTube

Hey all! Here is version 2 of my Xmas album! All instrumental. This is what I think Xmas sounds like. It's free! jimofseattle.bandcamp.com/al…

In honor of Election Day I finished my first regular ol’ song in quite a while. It’s called Snorkeling, Snorkeling. But despite what the title implies, it’s NOT a political song.

Not a hockey fan (yet) but I hoped I’d at least like the team name and logo. For me they totally nailed it. That negative space tentacle is dang cool.

Just found a lyric I wrote long ago: Two little lovely girls are we And maids of Master Astor Pushing around his tray for tea On alabaster caster Master's in love with me, "and me!" Which brings to pass disaster For master has said he'll marry she Who brings the pastor faster

Lived here my whole life just about, and the Space Needle is STILL freakin’ cool looking. And it’s STILL a really big day when you get to go up it.

I am officially calling it: Foreign countries are going to begin banning Americans from their borders due to Covid at times that will be the most damaging to Trump’s reelection. There will be a wave of them hogging the news cycle starting in early fall. Calling it.

I think this song is more appropriate than ever in these troubled times. Great Big Beautiful Day youtu.be/j6uBnQYWEnM via @YouTube

The Country's In the Very Best of Hands youtu.be/NwqPBlSxb-0 via @YouTube not exactly today’s problems, but I keep thinking of this great song nonetheless. Seems quaint now

If they decided to split #nfl conferences so that there was a red and a blue conference, which teams would be in which conferences? #Seahawks , #Texans , #Niners , #Titans , easy. Some harder tho. How do we know they aren’t planning just that?

Twitter is telling me "Add a comment".... and I.... just....

Every time I run across the word ’tantamount’ I pause a few seconds and savor it. There’s something cool about that word. Tan-ta-mount. It’s an intellectual but also a bad-ass.
