Howdy Sheridan!! You mentioned a lot of things that I had in common
with you that I had just forgotten about...for one thing, I too bought
the CD because of the Rolling Stone Review. I still remember the exact
wording they used to describe it--"charming and benevolent of
spirit"...at least I'm pretty sure that was it. You also mentioned "In
The Absense of Sun"...which has always been my absolute favorite song of
his. I can't believe I forgot to mention it last time. I also like
Better Than Ezra and Oasis as well. Better Than Ezra is the only band
I've ever seen live...cuz see i used to live in GA, and they played at
the 40 Watt Club..it was only $10 to get in and there was like only 400
people there. I got a killer pic of the lead singer...if you wanna see,
it's at http://home.talkcity.com/SpiritCir/PillsPictures/stage.jpg
Right now I live in Wisconsin, though. You wouldn't happen to know a
Crystal Davis at UGA would ya? That's some girl I used to have really
strong feelings for...but it's a long long loooong story so I won't bore
you with it. About the most I can tell you about her is that she's
short, wears glasses, got the eyes of an angel, worked at Golden Pantry
for a month, and her birthdate is 5-31-79. But I've just about
forgotten about her by now.
Well, talk atcha'll later!
