Strange serendipity

It’s Todd’s birthday. I’m staying at a little Airbnb on Clay Ave, a couple houses down from the house he was living in when I met him and down the street from Woodland Park, where his memorial is.

I’m in town recording background vocals for with and Todd’s old bandmate, .

We’re recording with on Devonia Ave, a couple streets down from Glenn Pl, where Todd was living at the end of his life.

We’re playing an acoustic set “no drummer” for a flood benefit at tonight.

Todd was a great drummer and a better guy. Overflowing with love and generosity. The love and generosity he showed me, I hope to pay forward.

As I’m typing this “Haunt Me” comes on
