Oh, Manchester, So Much To Answer For

Erik and I go back years, even though we've never actually met. (We even were part of my first collaborative blog.) (We came close to meeting a few years back, since he's a Mainer and I lived for a while in godforsaken New Hampshire, but alas, 'twas not to be.) We've slipped out of touch ("I'm out of time...") for the past few years, though, and he seemed to depart this mortal blog coil for some time, too. But now, thanks to my webstats, I discover that he's back. Hurrah! (Also: Erik, do you realize that as we age, we're looking a lot more alike?) While we agree on precious little music-wise, his writing is a dream, his thinking even moreso.
