The story goes, possibly apocryphally, that Tony Bennett, responding to an interviewer’s shocked surprise that he would suffer from “butterflies” prior to a performance, stated: “It’s not because I’m afraid…it’s because I care.”

  1. Beautiful writing Allen. Read the whole thing late (for me) after work on Friday night. Keep wishing you guys would play Salt Lake City, Utah but alas. I too am pleased that bass is never pluralized. I still remember the night in SF you shepherded Keir and I through many summers ago. And heard about your climb to the top of the bridge then before I injured my calf on a children’s merry-go-round/carousel. So glad to see that rocknroll has provided you with such a sweet spot this year. For me, I just played accordion with my daughter on the piano today to some pleasure, but sold my bass long ago to a friend who plays it much better. Now that I think of it, you helped me buy it when I was 20? Wow.

    If you ever visit SLC, call on us.

    Sean (Keir’s brother fame)
