So one of my best pals, Clayton, is in a band  called Say Never.  They recently came out with their first record.  It’s extremely good.  They have a full time cellist, and male and female vocalists,  so there’s a lot of dynamics, a lot of range with the song writing and vocals that really comes through.

You can listen  to a few songs here (links to myspace), including one called September.  A little story about that:

Back when I lived in Florida, before I wrote stories, I wrote lyrics.  I played drums in whatever the band of the month was that I was in (with Clayton), and wrote songs.  This particular song just kept being good, which is why, all these years later, it made it on to his album.  If you can’t guess, it’s mostly about September 11th.  I read a news article about a man who called his wife from one of the planes, but she didn’t answer, so he left a message.

What do you say to someone in a situation like that?  What words are good enough to convey everything you’ve ever wanted to say, knowing it will be the last thing you say?
