Like if Leonard Cohen was a woman who played guitar and only one guy showed up for the drum circle...like what happens when a folk singer dates an aging punk...like a rock band that was powered with internal energy but not electricity...

Blair Vail has been a singer and songwriter since 1996, Rich has been tapping on things for decades, but it was only when his girlfriend Blair bought him a drum one Christmas that he started pretending to be a musician. Originally based on Rich playing in support of Blair's solo material, the two began collaborating on new material.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The band name predates the band by about a year, being an inevitable pun for a couple with such names.
Blair your voice is so enchanting. It is what I imagine fairies on the moon water morning glories hum. I wish that I was more settled in my head to fully grasp it. There is peace and serenity there and I can't obtain it. You both are blessed with it and I envy you both for your up coming union and connectedness. I imagine that you two have come the closest to bliss and contentment in this insane world. I wish that I could obtain your frequency. I hope to run into you two tonight at first Thursday. However, Helen and I will be searching for the unobtainable at the same events in seperate directions. Cheers to yous, bottoms up.
I had a great time with you and Kim on Hawthorne. Helen and I went back to the crêpe place and I think that it has become my favorite restaurant. We should do it again sometime.
