Anniversaries
Yesterday was 7 years of Alison and I dating and today is 5 years of me playing with Caedmon’s Call. Craziness.
They say time flies, and sometimes it does, but right now I feel like five and seven years seems about right. I have a hard time remembering life without Alison, and I don’t want to go back to that time. As well, Caedmon’s has been a part of my life as long as Alison has, The Normals started opening for them a couple months after Alison and I started dating.
So much has happened in that span that I feel I’m still reeling in a lot of ways, trying to get my bearings with both the new good and the new problems that come with the new good.
In other news, playing electric in the round has been great. Really freeing. It’s the instrument that I really play, the one that cuts deeper into me, and it lets me feel more comfortable in the surreal setting of a touring round. And I think it’s nice because it sort of breaks up the hour or so by allowing another texture to enter the mix. Having Sara play piano is great for that reason, and I feel this adds to the fullness of the time.
All right, I’m going to go play some more Speed Scrabble (I haven’t beat anybody in anything for a few hours) and then we’re going to play our second Huntsville, AL show. See you tomorrow.

Cincy show was great. Thanks for playing my requests and taking the time to say hi when you were tuning your guitar. Touring w/ Gullahorn must be hilarious. Dude is funny.

dude I’m getting really pumped for the Charlotte show on wed!
it’s hard for ME to believe you’ve been with Caedmon’s that long, but I have to say it’s been great. And I feel like the band is finally starting the get the Andy-influence that it has needed

I saw you in New Milford CT, travelling up from NJ for to see it. BtLoG was great (duh). I also enjoyed you guys doing songs in the round. I agree about how good the electric was. The guitar at the end of ‘Hold the Light” was awesome.
You get bonus points because during BtLoG (toward the end?) whilst doing backing vocals, you had to hit a note with authority and hold it for a while. Well done!
This was my second Osenga sighting this year. The first was at Trappe, PA with CC.
