Sharing music has been a thing between us since I used to make up stupid songs to sing to her in the bouncy chair.

We played endless CDs on car trips when she was little and we'd sit out in the back yard listening to music on nice days.

When she learned to read, she would have me print out lyrics so she could sing along.

I took her to her first concert when she was thirteen - X and Blondie at the state fair.

We've gone to hundreds of shows since, built a substantial record collection together, driven around the country to attend festivals, met and hung out with lots of musicians, and now we send each other links and suggestions since we live several states apart.

She became a hell of a sax player and a reasonably competent guitar player through all of it.

It's been the best bonding experience ever.

Holy shit I would've loved to see X!

Their latest show was NYE, you probably will have an opportunity to see X in 2024. Also sometimes play with Dave Alvin as The Knitters (Minus Billy Zoom)

A couple years later we got to hang out with Exene for about an hour or so. Just the three of us. She's both off the charts crazy and unbelievably kind. It's a strange juxtaposition that fits her perfectly.

That happened because by random chance, several hours before the show, she saw my daughter wearing an Exene T-shirt, so she came up to us and we all just started talking.

At the end of the show, she personally gave my daughter the set list and one of DJ's drum sticks.

That was one helluva day for us.
