Not an April Fools Joke

We are in New Orleans and had an absolutely weird and wonderful day yesterday. We were sitting in the Crescent City Brewhouse having a cold one and a bite to eat. A man who stepped up to the bar next to me to order drinks for his friends looked vaguely familiar. I asked where he was from and he said Pennsylvania, so I asked where and he said Washington. My response was, "Are you Erik Hargrove?" which blew him away. I had Erik in class over 20 years ago. He had been in the army for nine years where he was in the band. He is now following his passion and is a professional drummer who has played with the James Brown Band and others while traveling to six continents. His home is in Orlando and he was in New Orleans doing a gig at the Zurich golf tournament. One of his friends was Heather Wolf who had played in the circus band with Josh Dunlevy and has visited the Dunlevy home in Washington. We had a great time talking about school and and he asked about many of the teachers he had at WEEP. We enjoyed listening to the stories of all his adventures as he has travelled the world. We also got to hear him play as he and a friend, the guitarist, sat in with the band for a set.
