yeah, i've known Dan since i was 16 years old, and we played a lot of music together. we were out of touch for years until i had dreams about him cycling through my old neighborhood in Chicago every night for two weeks running and decided something was telling my subconscious that i should get in touch with him. it turned that he was fixing to move to Miami in a couple of months and if i hadn't gotten ahold of him then i might never have found him. it also turned out that he lived in my old neighborhood and cycled daily.
and we got along like i'd never left when i went to Chicago to visit him...it was utterly delightful.
and he also needs somebody to lean on now...moving to Miami wasn't good for him. it cut him off from the whole support system he had at home in Chicago, and didn't help his alcoholic tendencies. he really needs to get out of there and have something to work on; he spent several years caring for his dying mom, and since then has been living meagerly on the investments from his Mom's will and the sale of her house, and thus really doesn't have anything to do in life than wait until 5PM to arrive so he can start drinking. so him coming out here and playing bass with me would be a really good thing for him, too. God knows we both need the company.
kick ass, wish I'd get another opportunity to see SUNN O)))) I missed them five or six years ago and it still kinda burns - even if the reason was as good as kickstarting own studio sessions.
I blame all of you for not introducing me sooner.
