<![CDATA[Okay. So. I was diagnosed with early stage uterine cancer.]]>Okay. So. I was diagnosed with early stage uterine cancer. It requires an immediate hysterectomy. However. I had to postpone because finances will not allow me to rest, and layoffs are happening at my music label.

As usual, I refuse to ask for help. It feels horrible. But so many of you have offered.

So. If you’d like to donate to β€œProject Hysterectomy: Yeet that Uterus and Heal 2026,” I’d be grateful.

I find her music and words deeply moving as well as beautiful. Hope they are healing for you.
Her albums are on bandcamp. Including this link to a short concert so you can see her fantastic outfit & hear the interview with her words behind the music choices.

I have a lot of favorite albums, and I don't know what kind of music you like. But this one popped into my head immediately because it got me through a really dark time. Most of the songs tell some kind of fantastic story. (Head's up: There's an artistically long loud sound at the end of track 12 if you want to skip that. Just the sound. The track is great.)

Wishing you financial stability and a speedy recovery.

I first saw Joe Alterman play when he opened for Ramsey Lewis in NYC (Blue Note, maybe?). It was so long ago he was still a student and his mom was at the show 😁 Years later, I got to see Houston Person at the Jazz Loft in Stony Brook πŸ‘πŸ½ Haven't seen them perform together, but maybe someday!
