you know, i tend to randomly connect with my fourth grade students in all sorts of ways, but i was completely dumbfounded today when a kid told me that his favorite song is “zurich is stained” by pavement.

life is crazy. i’m spending most of this month on an indigenous reservation in costa rica. spent the 4th playing with native families at a waterfall near the village i’m living at. i speak very little spanish, but the kids are teaching me a lot through games and play.

any of y’all ever mess around with travel guitars? there’s a big possibility that i might be spending a few weeks in a costa rican jungle this summer, and would like to bring something along that can handle the elements
