Hello Star Lights!

It’s a rainy Fall day as I write. The kind of day that inspired the line, “It’s down in the fall and the wind is chill and there’s not one humming bird hummin’ anywhere around here…

Books! Books! The magical fruit!
The more you read the more you...
  ... learn about the world and yourself and how we’re all connected and a part of the whole? Sure!

Welcome to my third quarter reading list. Sometimes when…

Good evenin’, Friends.

It’s past 10:30pm. I’m staying up late to write this and come in just under the wire for video #4 of the Days Between. I’ll try to keep this short, even though there is so much I…

Dear Friends,

We are within what we Deadheads call, The Days Between. That is to say, the days between the anniversaries of Jerry Garcia’s birthday on August 1st and his transition day on August 9th. This year, each day, I’m…

Hi Friends! Here's an excerpt from the book I'm working on titled "What the Hell Do I Know, But Here's What I Think (For Now)." It's a reflection on my recent travels to Anna Maria Island, Florida with my daughter…

“I opened my computer just now with pure intention. I stayed focused as I entered the password and opened this word processing app. I defeated the lure of distraction. I did not check social media first. Admittedly, for a split…

Hello Dear Friends!

The time is nigh. My last booked gig of the year is this Saturday, July 11th. True, if the right invitation pops up I may say yes if I’m able, but I’m not actively booking right now…

Hi, Friends!

Hoping this message finds you all healthy and well. I just returned from a weekend mindfulness and meditation retreat in Iowa and wow! It’s amazing how much I feel refreshed and renewed after just a few days. I…

My roots are made of music and I can forgive my white ancestors for their hurtful actions, just like I can forgive myself and others who have had unskillful actions in modern times. Those are two of the biggest takeaways…

Hello and Happy May! 

I think it’s really happening this time, y’all. The weather is looking pretty good with only a small chance of rain. The Country Duo finally celebrates the physical release of Little Lagoon Sessions, ten original songs…

Dear Friends,

It's almost time to celebrate! Please join The Country Duo (Kasey Rausch & Marco Pascolini) for the release of vinyl records and CDs of Little Lagoon Sessions, our first full-length album!

She was there in the dark the whole time.

I never knew.

She was waiting to pounce, if dared one moved.

I never saw her.

She thought she could run free, long into the night.

I never did suspect.

THUNDER.…

Well hello there, Friends!  

It's been a long while since I've updated this blog section. So what’s the catalyst for me finally digging myself out of the hole, lifting my head to the sunshine and reaching out to you today?…

HAPPY END-OF-NOVEMBER! 

It wouldn’t be the holiday season if I wasn’t terribly behind on alllll the things, including this monthly newsletter. Better late than never! 

Surprise! We dropped a new song! I’ve had “Smokin’ Marijuana” in my back…

HAPPY FALL, Y’ALL! 

The weather in Kansas City has been stunning lately and a great inspiration for writing, and a-writing I have been! I’ll tell ya about my new writing goals shortly, but first I want to get straight to…

HELLO AND HAPPY SEPTEMBER! 

Kasey Rausch here. Welcome to the first of my new **hopefully** monthly greetings with information about the music I’ll be a part of coming up in the near future and other happenings. This will include gigs…
