LOL! Video unavailable - "The uploader has not made this video available in your country" Alas, I know the song by heart and will sing it out loud at some point today.

And I'm glad that I got to meet you in the flesh, once, at least, before we both shuffle off to Buffalo, or wherever Hades is these days.

Yeah, I was thinking pleasant thoughts about our brief get-together recently. I hope to get back to CA this year, but probably not to the gaping maw of socialism up there.

I fixed the link on the site but sadly can't fix the emails. It was a VPN thing.

A lot of familiar "names" on the page you linked. Gregor and Fritz were two of my favorites. I wonder if they're writing somewhere else.

Fritz would be getting up there now. Do you remember Jack D.? He got in touch with me yesterday, courtesy a link from Run, if you remember him.

I wish I could find more of those Best Of pages.

By the by, I listened to Amythyst Kiah. Her earlier work was a bit too traditional for me, but I liked her album from this year, Pensive Pop.

I actually talk to Jack D all the time on Reddit. There are a few Fray refugees that post there on this site: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheNewGeezers/ and on this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/bestofthefray/ You'd be more than welcome at either spot.

Oh, I remember those. I think I participated in the fray one for a while before falling off a cliff. I used to have a weldon login on reddit but can't find it. I just signed in and dropped a comment on Schmutzie's Beach Boys thread, as evilynwah. Thanks for the heads up. I see Schmutzie on twitter pretty often.
