The Past Comes Creeping in Canal Boats: The Return of Carl Simmons

      My buddy Carl, he of the florid dashiki and genuine love of god, bassist, choir and Springsteen channeller for legendary New Jersey barband Tension Envelopes and all-around interesting guy is gonna be rolling into my fair little town come tomorrow.

     We've been in touch via email both privately and here on our respective (if not respectable) motime pages but haven't laid eyes on the other brother for, lo, these just 'bout 25 years! How can that be?

I am, of course, atwitter w/anticipation and no little dread 'cause that's how I roll but for now, I'm just gonna enjoy looking forward to seeing my friend and playing some music w/him and my band and just have a good freaking time 'cause it's about time!

Of course I'll probably be back in a week whining about all the 'old ghosts' and failure and the usual crap, but for the moment (and that's all we really have, no?) L'chaim!

Actually, I seem to recall trekking up to New City a couple times from Franklin, and that'd've had to've been at least '92. But close enough for horseshoes, hand grenades, and government work (the latter two having more in common than I'd like).

Mazeltov! But sans the Manischevitz! :)
