Dear Friends,

I, Andy Bean, this essay’s author and a noted 4-stringed instrumentalist, spent a majority of my formative years cavorting about the granite state.   There, between the ages of 4 and 18, [...]

The Gentlemen Endorse… Rock Buddy!

Dear Internet,
Soon enough, friends, we shall continue the true tale of survival begun in our most recent posting.  But, such recountings require a great deal of emotional effort and loin-girding on our parts.  You will, we hope, forgive the delay as we gird said loins.  Eeeek.
Instead, we engage in some lighter fare today.  One of [...]

Never is our fraternal bond [...]

Dear Internet,

I, [...]
