Gotta love when a really personal song that you let sit for a few years – I call that “percolating” – finally makes it to the recording stage and becomes something that many, many people relate to. Even better when it generates some local press.
At the end of last year, Wallace Baine did a very eloquent analysis of “We’re the Elders Now” for Lookout Santa Cruz. More recently, Hugh McCormick of the local Register Pajaronian called me and asked if I’d like to be the cover story on their monthly Pajaro Valley Magazine. Excited and flattered, I had a super cool, long chat with him about my music, our band, and the song itself.
Of course, all I noticed is the word ELDER across my photo in large type on the cover…but that’s just the title laid out. Heh. The article was also republished as a cover story two weeks ago in Aptos Times.
Thanks again to Hugh, Steve Palopoli over at Good Times (they oversee the other pubs) for all the support! As always, we take none of this for granted.
