I love a band. I love a small group of people forging their way through the landscape, experiencing their days together. I love that you can feel the intangible connection, and the mystery of that moment after everything has been loaded and the van door shuts and what happens then. Heading to the hotel and starting in on the recap, filling out and sharing the experience together in the way every band does. I love the instinctual protection that forms in a band, and the secret language that develops.

I have gotten to be in great bands in my life. With one of them, we lived in a car together and truly did forge our way across the landscape. I guess I learned in that band the limits of what can hold together and what breaks apart.
