What a wonderful night - I am going to hear Jonathan Richman at the Cat's Cradle tonight; I remember him from The Modern Lovers and The Inn Square Men's Bar in Cambridge, Massachusetts, or maybe it was Somerville, MA and his drummer David Robinson left to join a band which I think at that time was called "Captain Swing", doing they steady gig at The Elliot Lounge on Mass Ave across from Wurlitzer Music and Newbury Street, later renamed by David to The Cars... Jonathan has done a lot, and everyone remembers him as the guitar player from "There's Something About Mary"... Ooops! Gotta Jet!

Rocked out in a dynamic interview recently that riffed on my musical journey from notes to narratives. Can I say that? The back beats of conversation were electric, inspirational and rhythmic and I really appreciate these wonderful questions! Please share your thoughts on this, ok? And I just got another one too...! https://cadentia.pro/interview-eric-sommer/ # Carrboro
