Last night I made it out again to Hillbilly night at Johnny D's.  My friend Brian Claflin played all original music that I would describe as folk, rock, gospel, blues - just good American roots music.  He is an amazing talent and its great to see him making music and performing again.  And it really helped ease all that angst I was carrying around from my "God Bless America" rant.  Just like that driver the other day reminded me about all the things I hate about this place, Brian brought me back to all the things I love about it.  Inspiring stuff Brian!  Really got me thinking again about what's important to me and my life.

Brian and I were best friends in the fourth grade.  We made up puppet shows and other wacky stuff.  He moved up to Maine and I never heard from him until about 2 years ago.  If you are ever in the Boston area, check him out.  Not sure he has a regular gig yet but I'll post an announcement here when I find out about his next show.

Brian also wrote the theme song for Dragon Tales!
