We can all agree that Courtney Haden had a brain composed of limitless knowledge, uncanny reasoning ability and the kindest heart of any alien being living on Earth.  He also gave freely of his time to anyone, anytime.  Which is how we arrived here at the first meeting of The Boutwell Studios Philosophy Club recorded on May 27, 2016.

One day a few years ago a Russian ballet teacher came into the studio to edit some music.  He asked, "Does Courtney still work here?", I replied that he was at lunch but yes he does work here.  The man's gaze shifted from my eyes to a memory, a moment, any number of possible punchlines and stories.  Then he looked back to me and replied, "Courtney...heh-heh..." and walked away.  How perfectly true.  Courtney...heh-heh.
