And This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things

This is how my life works:

On Long Road Trip in the North Woods, I turn on the radio and it immediately finds a college station. And so it turns out that this college station is going to have a darling but obscure band that I have great fondness for, live in the studio in five minutes of my turning the radio. And hey!

THEY WILL BE PLAYING LIVE. How exciting! How thrilling!

And I will totally be four hours away from the venue by the time they take the stage because it is a Long Road Trip and I've got to Be Places.

And that is the story of how I was serenaded by The Daredevil Christopher Wright for a half-hour, approaching Duluth. Oh god, they sound even better live, you have no idea. Those harmonies.

items of auditory joy, gallivants, things you should know, public broadcasting, serendipity, expect the unexpected
