I'm saying the kid is learning early all about the gorgeous, powerful, heartbreaking music of Jeff Buckley.

And I guarantee he'll always be reminded of his childhood whenever he hears it.

Oooh. I didn't realize that was Mr. Buckley on the tee-vee... I'm dumb.

not dumb.
you just didn't know.

beautiful, isn't he? I mean, WASN'T he?

His music is the reason Leslie and I met in the first place. Many years ago. Online. She co-runs a Jeff Buckley fan website.

We lived near one another, so we got together and hung out. And became really good friends.

Last Tuesday marked the 10th anniversary of Jeff's death. I went up to Milwaukee to see Leslie for the first time in 5 years and to share some time remembering the person whose music brought us together in the first place.

Had a lovely time.
