It takes a minute to get going.
I had only been playing a little bit with Music of Epilogue for a couple of months before the gig. Laura jumped on drums for a couple songs. The band had been playing this song for a while, but it was the first time with me. I didn’t even know what song we were playing until we hit the first chorus. I was just twiddling knobs mostly, anyway.
The band practiced in a house everyone else lived at on Benton Street at the time, and this was our penance, dedicated to their next door neighbor and organizer of the block party, Rona.
Funny story, a little over a year after I met Rona, we learned she was the tenant that lived at my apartment right before me — in a different part of town. She had lived there for 30 years. I have a painting of hers she had left behind. She still complained about the noise, often.
