This morning’s rainy run got me thinking about 21-year-old me — writing lyrics during firewatch, recording in a Buffalo basement, and dreaming up NAVAR. Yesterday, I finally released Summer Demos 2001 — my first studio recordings ever. Raw, emotional, and 100% DIY. Also… cows.

Today’s chorus is “Somebody’s Baby” by Jackson Browne. My wife and I saw him open for James Taylor in Greensboro a few years back, and we were floored. That night left a mark—so this song always brings it right back. It’s pouring out today, but I played it from the cabin porch anyway. Ophie doesn’t mind the rain… and makes a cameo to prove it. #TheDailyChorus #SomebodysBaby #JacksonBrowne #GreensboroMemories #CabinSession #RainyDayVibes #OphieTheDog

Forgot the leash. Forgot the collar. But didn’t forget the dog. Ratchet strap = road hack. Ophie = always down for the adventure. #RoadDog #OphieOnTour #DIYLeash #LifeOnTheRoad #CabinToWherever

Campfire. Carbonara. Flowers. Vino. Judah surprised Carmen with a perfect Mother’s Day lunch — and That’s Amore played while we celebrated the women who make our world go ‘round. #ThatsAmore #MothersDayMagic #CampfireLunch #MatriarchEnergy #LifeAtTheCabin

Today’s chorus is “Mrs. Wonderful”—an original I wrote about the love story between my grandparents, Ray and Ethel Axelson called “Ray Axelson (Mr. Wonderful).” We called them Nanny and Da. But today, I sing it for their daughter—my mom. She carries their spirit in everything she does: warm, positive, and full of light. Happy Mother’s Day, Mom. #TheDailyChorus #MrsWonderful #OriginalSong #MothersDay #FamilyLegacy #NannyAndDa @lynnbarry3591

I was headed out to fix the lawnmower and rake rocks out of the yard—real glamorous stuff—when I got a request from our good friend Lindsay. She asked for “If I Had a Hammer” by Peter, Paul and Mary. Every time I hear this one, I think of Confessions of a Dangerous Mind—the wild Chuck Barris biopic with Sam Rockwell and George Clooney. Had to pause the yard work and make this one happen. #TheDailyChorus #PeterPaulAndMary #IfIHadAHammer #ChuckBarris #ConfessionsOfADangerousMind @lrschrenkel

“Old Man” by Neil Young today—request from Emily Saxton, repping our elite (and extremely unofficially famous) fantasy football league. With this gray beard situation I’ve got going, it felt a little too appropriate. Might’ve been singing it to myself. Or about myself. #TheDailyChorus #OldMan #NeilYoung #FantasyFootballLegends #AcousticCover #GrayBeardEnergy @itsemilysaxton

Today’s chorus goes out to @brad3doorsdown “Duck and Run” by 3 Doors Down was one of the first songs I ever performed in a band—Aftermath, Hornell NY, 1999. We covered a bunch of 3DD tracks, and this one always got the crowd going. Thinking of you, Brad. Sending strength. Thanks for the music—and the memories. #TheDailyChorus #DuckAndRun #3DoorsDown #BradArnold #HornellNY #CoverBandRoots #CancerAwareness

Rough travel day yesterday, but I finally made it back to the cabin. This one hit exactly right today—“When I Come Around” by Green Day. It’s loud, it’s familiar, and it helped shake off the last 48 hours. #TheDailyChorus #GreenDay #WhenIComeAround #CabinSession #AcousticCover

Cranked it up a little today with “In the Garage” by Weezer. This one’s for the band kids, the comic book lovers, the outcasts, and the ones who found their voice behind a closed door with the amps buzzing. If it’s too loud… turn it down. =w= #TheDailyChorus #Weezer #InTheGarage #90sRock #GarageBandDays
