Time Flies...This Acid World
So, Tuesday night I got together with my friend Joy at our favorite Irish pub (25 cent wing night!). She had a show to go to that night - and I tagged along with her. Why? Because it's an artist that I really like...
It seems like a million years ago I discovered a musician named Peter Himmelman. I was still living in the DC area when I first heard his music. I went and saw him for the first time in New York, opening for the Innocence Mission.
Time passes. I moved to New York and the label/distribution company that I was working for ended up signing Peter to the label. I was fortunate to be part of the extended/inner circle and got to see, do and learn some really cool things.
So...what is the point of all of this walk down memory lane? Let's just fast-forward to this week.
Joy and I walk into the venue (The Mint) and there's one guy on stage. She says as a throw-off, "Oh, that's his son." His son sounds a lot like him and is playing a piano, solo, on stage. I start to do math in my head. It only takes a few seconds for me to figure out what's going on. I realize that this ADULT on stage is the very same person who was gurgling and being a baby on "From Strength to Strenth," Peter's Epic debut. (Click on the link and listen to "Walk On, Pt. 1" to hear who/what I'm talking about.) I felt REALLY old.

That's how I felt when I heard that Eddie Van Halen's son Wolfgang is joining VH as a member. I remember when Eddie and Valerie Bertinelli were dating and getting married...Not that I care about VH these days, but it's the same thing.
Maybe the Tom Hanks/Colin Hanks example is a better one?
