I did a little research today on the Fort Wayne music scene. I was blown away to find a coupla guys I used to know from my days of hangin' out in this little music store in Huntington, IN. Isaac started guitar lessons there when he was in 7th grade (I think), and that used to be my favorite hour of the week waiting around, playing guitars, chatting with musicians and stuff, while he was in his lessons. Ben Laatsch and Eric Squires were some young student/teachers at the time who I took an immediate liking to, and it is so cool to see and hear them now that they're a tad more grown up. (That's Ben in the top left pic; Eric is below on the right).
I look forward to catching some of their shows; and I would also like to see Sunny Taylor sometime. I've heard much about her, but never seen her live. And I wish like heck I could find out something about JENNIFER SPRINGER. I can't even remember the name of the band she was in - something like "full circle." If anyone has any info on them, please let me know.
The 'hello old friend' reference came to mind while listening to Ben & Eric's music. Every so often throughout my life I have heard music that so resonates within me that it's like stumbling across an old friend. Funny how I can remember these guys like yesterday, but also, their sound is so familiar to my soul. ...an' it was good.
