over the last few days i scanned  over one hundred old photos from ten to seventeen years ago. the overwhelming majority of them are music related from shows up and down the west coast.  i feel very fortunate to have been part of a such a great and supportive music community in my teens and twenties.  i saw some of the best shows of my life in the basements of houses and in tiny clubs in bad neighborhoods played by bands that played with so much energy and love.  some of these bands only played a hand full of shows but have left a lasting impression on me all these years later.  those were amazing years.

i’m sure that this thing happens all over the world all the time but to me and the friends that i made during this period, there was something very special happening.
