Do you know what is funny or maybe not so much so, I still check his blog (this moment). I wonder at that impulse, as if by some miracle he will be back posting. A little thing but the absence hits me and I am reluctant to admit to goodbye when so many of them are coming to me. I hate goodbyes and I am tired of them. I shake my fist at you world with your need for endings. Jeers to goodbye and endings. Jeers.

I go there, too, Corby.
I know it's silly, but I keep hoping he will be there again.
It's hard to let go.
yeah it is, he was spectacular.

I still do it too - in fact I just came from there and was looking for an old post. It was one of the first photos I saw there - a vintage-feeling photo of a fiddle player walking a low tight rope while playing but you couldn't see what was holding up the rope. I'll never forget how I felt at the time - I'm a new-ish fiddler (actually a recent "recovering classical" player who's swept away with traditional styles) - a relatively recent pursuit. At the time I had just joined a few bands and was suddenly out there performing and really battling stage fright. I so identify with the photo - fiddling on the tight rope - that fear of performing and not knowing whether you were going to fall on your face - the uneasiness of not seeing what was holding up the tight rope. I wanted to leave a comment but didn't - not just because I was chicken, but also because I'm irretrievably drawn to puns and not everyone appreciates them. My comment would've been "Self taut?". Bad, really bad.

I like your comments! (I too fall under the pun category at times). I used to do big bird shows and sing in public and I always felt like I was going to throw up before every show. Now I just feel that way when I have an art opening I am in. I really never know what to do with myself, so the vomit feeling tends to linger. It is really lovely...

I also miss Alan, he and I collaborated on a song and I think I harbored a little crush on him.
