Connection. In an isolating age…<\/em><\/p>\n

This afternoon on the way home from work I heard Chicago’s 25 or 6 to 4<\/em> on the radio, which naturally brought the associated quad\/tenors groove to mind. Then I came home and decided on a whim to look through my Bookmarks folder of friends’ blogs and journals, revisiting some places I haven’t been in weeks or months. That was a cool experience in and of itself. And then out of the blue, another tab pops up in Adium<\/a>, and there’s my fellow drummer and one of those very journal authors, one Joel Liberski.<\/p>\n

It had been far too long, but it seems Joel is doing quite well, as the Poetry editor for the UWGB literary journal Sheepshead Review<\/em>, and a near-future English major graduate. He has a way with words that I have only been able to regard in continued amazement since I first read his writings.<\/p>\n

I can’t even believe that over 4 full years separate the present from the last time we were in class together, that it has been 5 since dashing across the practice field to beat the marching band out from behind the school in Joel’s car, 6 from a certain freshman showing up a certain junior on a rudimentary (ha ha) paradiddle lick, and 7 or 8 from a terrified middle schooler listening to an intimidating high schooler tell every one to be quiet because the audience could hear us at the Bay Port percussion night.<\/p>\n

It was excellent to talk with him again, and to read a bit of what he’s been up to. Incidentally, he’s published now: UW Green Bay Spring 2006 Sheepshead Review<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Thank you, as always, sir.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
