How Delightful!

In the late ’70s and early ’80s John L. was the keyboard player in a Providence-based band called The Mundanes. The band rehearsed in a “The Vault,” a structure actually built to be a vault in days of yore. It still stands in Providence, down the street from WBRU where TMBG performed on the air today.
This is wonderful! To go visit a place where you made happy crazy memories, during that frenzy of hopefulness and activity that defines young men, and have the building still physically be there. Especially for a person whose professional life is long car trips, or stinky bus sojourns to a new city every night, it's poignant and symbolic to plant your wiser, tireder,middle-aged feet on that same ground for a moment, and look at it again from this far down the road. It's like time travel within your own life.
I got happy and a little teary at once looking at this photo? Haha - and he probably didn't even think about it, just had his picture taken.
