waterloo is going on nine. it is the sum of the parts of four people and doesn't break down even in the rain. we're sleepers and that seems right on hazy summer evenings. something to do with guitars and pianos and other sounds leaving space for each other. live, we burn slow but right. waterloo is a great abba song and the second most popular name of american cities (after springfield). we respond well to patience and whiskey. waterloo is a family with families.
