Avatar Rocks!

This is the kind of thing that happens when you join Facebook — ghosts from your past find you and remind you of this that and then. I can’t tell you how many times I thought about posting this picture before deciding against it, but since it’s my birthday and I’m feeling wistful and self-indulgent, I thought I’d share this little blast from the past: Playing bass in the school auditorium with a band called Avatar circa who knows when, 1979? Fifteen years old believe it or not. Ah, sweet bird of youth.
