: The Persistence of Memory
It is said (not by me) that when you lose a limb you have false sensations coming from the missing limb.
Losing someone you love is somewhat like that. The person is gone, but your brain thinks they are still there.
My beloved cousin Phyllis died over a year ago. We mourned and have more or less moved on, but there’s an empty place when the family gets together. But recently we had another death in our family – my cousin Arthur had a heart attack and died a few weeks later. Arthur was 90 and had been in poor health for many years, so while it was sad, it was not a tragedy like Phyllis dying way too soon. But here’s the point. When we heard the news about Arthur’s heart attack, my wife Lisa & I both had exactly the same immediate reflexive thought – “We have to tell Phyllis”.
Oh. . . . Right. . . .
Leaving that somber note for some brighter tones ->

We’re doing some new material and we have to decide. Is the second chord in the verse an Eb7 or is it an Eb with an F bass? The only way you’ll know is to come hear us – otherwise YOU MAY NEVER KNOW (queue the ominous music). Unless of course you come hear us later this month
