  • Bio

    ..Gabe Lowery.. was born in Cambridge and started working as a baby at M.I.T. he retired from this job at six months and moved with his back to the land hippy parents to Talemidge Maine into an old haunted farm house. The farm was christened Green Frog Farm by his parents and the group of hipsters that came to live with them communal style in the Maine woods. Less than a year later his brother Mason was born and they spent their days playing in the woods that surrounded the house at the end of a dead-end road in a magical dead-end town with a population of 71 people. They spent their summers swimming in the stream at the bottom of the hill at the edge of the property, exploring the banks with their dogs and parents, catching frogs, and going to parties. Gabe learned to sing before he learned to talk and during his whole childhood he was constantly surrounded by the music that his parents and their friends were performing or had going on the record player or eight track. Joni Mitchell and the Beatles were a constant staple at the house once they finally got electricity. During this time of innocence and bliss Gabe's parents picked up Bo and Mary hitch hiking and Gabe met his future wife Shyla when he was less than 2 years old. After being close friends for 17 years things changed one night during a party at Shyla's college and the rest is history. Gabe's family lived a gypsy lifestyle for most of his childhood and moved a lot. He got sick of this and when he finally had enough stability he bought himself a house in Lubec, Maine with his wife to be Shyla where they currently reside enjoying ocean views and a calmer lifestyle then they had as children. It is from this house on the hill on the edge of the ocean in a little oceanside village that he creates his music surrounded by the wind and waves.

    I have a picture of you and I standing together, with my arm around your shoulders, and a frame around the picture.
    And a frame around the picture.
    But I don't have those ringtones
    never had the ringtones
    Those sweet cadillac ringtones
    Will ne'er be mine again

    Gabe, your brother is right. It had been years since we spoke, yet we met up here, in this forum last summer. We forget about the people we grew up with too easily. And we always take for granted the time we have to catch up with these people. I said I was going to make it up your way...I just didn't know we had such little time. And of course you wouldn't say other-wise. I didn't even know you were so close at the end...only 20 mins away. But thanks to you I take this. It is time to get back in touch with those we look past for so long...and sometimes forget. We spent a ton of time growing up together in Monroe, the center of nowhere, having a blast. Playing with Mason, avoiding Aaron and Joel. I guess those were the best of times. You are currently the only customer left on my myspace, but i sign in to see you and remember the lessons of life everyday. I am truly sorry we never got to meet up again, but hey
    ...i'll see you tommorrow.

    i wish i could believe in an afterlife because then you might check your myspace somehow. i got the new chris thile cd the other day. why did you teach ant your songs? now he plays them all the time and it makes me sad. anyway, he's getting good and you'd be proud. oh, right. the new chris thile cd is pretty good. actually, it's amazing. he covers one of my favorite strokes songs, "Heart in a Cage." I think I like Thile's version even better. Let's see...I took my LSATs yesterday. It sucked---6 fucking hours. But, I kicked that test's ass, so it was worth it. I wish you could help me with school choices. I really like Vanderbilt. The campus is in Nashville and I fell in love with it when I was there last summer. The entire campus is canopied by luscious green trees---you can't even see the sky it's so green. It also has a great International Law program and it gives a lot of money to students each year. It is far away, though. So, I'm also applying to schools that are a bit closer: Harvard, BU, BC, Sulffolk, Yale, and USM. I'd rather not go to USM, but if I don't get inanywhere else, I guess I have to. I can't stand just waiting around anymore soI really have to do something. You used to be here to help me with all this stuff.I try to explain it to other people and they just lose patience or don't really care what I do or want me to do whatever the hell they want instead of what's actually best for me. I also really miss my friends in Arizona. Everyone here in Maine...they are ok and everything. I mean, I've known them forever, so you'd think I'd be having a blast being here. But, when I was in AZ I got to be a kid for the first time in so long. It felt great. Here I'm the same as I always have been--studious, hard-working, never going out on a school/work night (and somehow every night is either a school or work night), etc. Of course, one major reason why I left AZ was that I was having too much fun and not getting on with my real life...like I put everything on hold for a year to just hang out and have a great time. Well, now I'm supposed to be a grow-up again and it sucks. It wouldn't be so bad if some of my friends from AZ were here. I love the people here, obviously, but I can't relate to them. I want to have a "Lesser-Known Characters of the Princess Bride" party, but people think its a lame idea so far. Theme parties are great and I miss them. Everyone has their heads so far up their righteous liberal asses...i mean, i'm into politics, but i don't tell people what not to do or say or buy or eat or BE every five minutes. And now that I don't care about the bake sales and poster-making sessions, I'm a fucking outsider. I always was, though, because as soon as I wasn't somebody's girlfriend I was nobody to them. FUCK THEM! That's what you told me, but sometimes I need you to tell me that again.

    i wish you could be here. i'm sorry that i couldn't cure you and i'm sorry that i couldn't speak at your funeral. i wanted to say something, but i really couldn't. sorry.
