Tomorrow is my brother Dave's Birthday. Some of you know him; some of you don't. Since I'll be celebrating with him & The Ettes, I wanted to post something. It's starts back when I was a sophomore in high school. That's when I started getting away from Tremonton & spending the weekend at his & Doug's house. (I had to get away.) My first real concert; he was there. We saw The Ramones in August 1995. He called in sick to work to go. He's showed me how to listen to music. I listen a lot keener than I did at a young age. We've gone to a lot of shows together, all 3 Rocket from the Crypt shows, The Supersuckers, The Night Marchers, the Donnas @ DV8 Basement (RIP) & many more. He's been in a few bands: Surly, Tarn, The Protocol, The Switch, & Blackhole. I'm sure to be missing a few. I'm proud to say I've seen them all. Every time I went to SLC, we'd end up at DI. Doug, Chris, & he would look through records while I'd meander off. I eventually got the bug & started collecting myself. (Now, I've got 700 +.) He's been through some ups & downs. I've been through some ups & downs. But we've been there for each other. I can say I would be who I am with out him. Cheers, Dave. Happy Birthday.
