andy and kristen made another human - and they gave him my name! i’m honored and flattered to laughter and tears; they plan on referring to to him by his middle (benjamin), so delightful confusion lies ahead for whenever i’m around and names are being called. joriel and i will simply have to pay a visit soon to andy’s growing hive.

at the aforemention wedding (dave), i ran into brendan yerian and his mate. he bears the honor of being Weird Blues’ Number One Fan, and was thrilled to hear that i had compiled a comprehensive CD box set of said band for andy a couple of years ago. by the end of the conversation, i had committed to making one for brendan as well. yikes! oh well; what’s one more labor of love?
i often wonder what would happen if i shared out my folder containing andy and i’s music, via emule or what have you. would someone download some of our songs, out of curiousity or by mistake? would we become some underground internet sensation, with music produced entirely before the launch of the world wide web? regardless, i would want to consult andy first, and secure a creative commons license of some sort for the music; maybe i should even make a website and such for the band.

the band and the friendship between andy and i are (in my mind) the same thing in many ways; while we haven’t recorded in awhile, the songs remain, and to me our music represents one of the best things about my time here on this planet. everything we’ve shared and dreamed and created and struggled thru has shaped me in so many ways; to have him as one of my best friends, and now as ‘uncle ben’, leaves me wordless.
