Matt Singer : The Other Monsters of Folk (A Reflection)

Last night I dreamed that in the middle of a storm, with ominous gray skies and gigantic crashing waves, Wynn Walent took a little row boat with an outboard motor from the shore out to sea with no apparent purpose but to take on the challenge. I waited in a state of panic (for what seemed like hours in the dream) for him to return, though it became obvious that the ocean had swallowed him up…
But at the 11th hour he came back, casually approaching the shore in the row boat, this time in a surfer’s stance, with a look that said, “Hey! That was no problem whatsoever… what the hell is for dinner?!?!”
I love Wynn. And I could not have been happier with the fun times we had last weekend, short as it was. Beers at El Sombrero, whiskey at Bar Four served by Paul Basile, late night greasy food at Purity Diner, topped off by a hell of a show at Union Hall on Saturday, that included Beau Jennings (and his ridiculously big and luscious new band) and Mr. Basile’s continually awesome Great Elk. The four of us played well and the snow didn’t seem to stop anyone from showing their love.
Excellent times. Farewell, Wynn. Come back when you can.
