Episode 11 – Sky Falls Down
A few weeks ago, I found out my MS has progressed. Things haven’t fallen apart, but they’ve shifted — enough to rattle me, to shake up my routines, and to hit me deep in places I thought were solid.
Then on Saturday, July 19th, just hours before a gig, I had what may have been an MS attack. I blacked out, fell down a flight of stairs, and was unconscious for hours. I nearly missed the show — something I never let happen. And it rocked me.
This mix was born from that moment. It’s grief and rage and hope and defiance, translated into sound. You’ll hear it in the tracklist — from “As The Rush Comes” to “Sky Falls Down” — it’s all there. Not just a set, but a message.
And through it all, I’ve been lucky. Lucky to be held — truly held — by the love of my partners: Rogue, Champ, and Tink. Their support has been the ground beneath my feet.
I’m endlessly grateful for the constant presence of my friend Albee, one of the kindest, fiercest souls I know.
And I’ve felt the quiet, steady strength of my family, who continue to show up in ways that matter.
This isn’t just a mix. It’s me — cracked open and still dancing.
Even when the sky falls down… we dance.
