Ah yes, I was in a band. 3 quarters of a century ago. We took classic poems, Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, you know, the classics, we took their poems, and we took the lines, and we made them new. I think my favorite was a ballad we made out of “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost. It made the woods seem like a temptress distracting a traveler from his mission. Those were the days…

It’s spring break y’all, this is going to be a short summary. This week was a lot of meetings (I think two-thirds were unnecessary, but my team may disagree) so I don’t have much to link to.
