A friend of ours has a big bonfire 2-3 times a year, and there are people
we only see at these events.

At the last one we went to in August, someone recognised my guitar-playing
son and asked him to play Marquee Moon again, since he'd remembered him
playing some of it at a previous bonfire.

He and his band recently put out a CD (used all their own money for both
the studio time and duplication, too), and it's _great_.  Hear some of it
at http://myspace.com/atroopofechoes

He grew up on a steady diet (while strapped in the back seat) of XTC, 
Television, Frank Zappa (sanitized for his protection), Laurie Anderson
and the like.  One of my favorite memories:  In Laurie's song "Walk The Dog"
there's a line that goes "I turned on the radio and I heard a song by Dolly 
Parton. And she was singingggggg" and there's this great dissonant chord made by the vocal and everything else, and it would always make him laugh _hard_.

My work here is done.
