Family & Fate..
I’ve been trying to decide whether to even do a music mailing this week with respect to Pearl Harbor Day and the fact that most people this time of year are trying to figure out their own lives, family obligations, the holidays, etc. I figured nobody really cares about a music date announcement. I’ve obviously given into habit, history, emotion, my pen, whatever.. And gone with my gut…
I went to pick up my daughter late last night at a local Assisted Living Complex; she is in the middle of her clinical rotation as she works towards her CNA License. My Subaru read 19 degrees outside so I decided to go inside and wait in the lobby in front of a small, charming, fake, but convincingly warm fireplace. As I waited for my daughter to finish her charting, the doors on auto-lock and the lights dimmed for the night, I randomly picked up a magazine that was dedicated to men and women of World War II and began to read. I learned a lot about some brave folks I have never met and never will…
My grandfather John Winge ran the small and customer friendly Winge’s Community Grocery in Anacortes, Washington the building still stands today and my grandparents are painted on the side of the building as part of Anacortes’s Historic Mural Tour. When I was a kid and would visit him at the store I remember him taking phone orders and I would get to go with my grandpa as he delivered groceries to his loyal clientele. When I was a teenager, my grandmother and her sister took a trip to Germany & parts of Europe. My grandmother, who had worked at her husband’s side in their grocery store most of her life, had never been out of town much at all. When I innocently asked my grandpa why aren’t you going with grandma to Europe on her trip, why are you staying home? I remember him answering abruptly and using a tone of voice I had never heard my grandpa use before. I saw enough of Germany during the War and I have no desire to ever go back, I’ve seen it already, and I don’t need to see it again…
I get my middle name from my dad’s father Thomas Holt. My grandmother never talked about Tommy very often and I don’t know much about him. My Dad would never even get a chance to meet him.
Thomas Holt was killed the morning of December 7th, 1941 in the attacks on Pearl Harbor…

Back from Seattle..
I’ve returned from Seattle, Kim & I filmed some final footage for our upcoming Music Video & DVD. We were atop the old Frederick & Nelson Department store freight warehouse across the street from Safeco Field.
This was a bit of Déjà Vu for me; I worked for Frederick & Nelson in the downtown Seattle store earlier in my youth and was in charge of keeping Frango’s fully stocked on all 8 floors.
I also performed for the Seattle Mariners during a double header with the Oakland A’s for a Farmers Day, I had been discovered by the Mariners while performing at the State Future Farmers of America Convention at WSU in Pullman. That was a few years back though… It was then known as the Kingdome…

I do not think Full Moons make a person go crazy.
But the extra light gives people false security to go places they wouldn’t go normally.
