Here is a list of all the things I have forgotten:

1.

2.

Um..., okay. Sorry, memory fails. Anyway, I thought of this poem while trying to remember the name of Takit's guitar player. Danny something? (Still a Wayfer last I heard.) Just Way trivia, nothing important.

Forgetfulness

The name of the author is the first to go

followed obediently by the title, the plot,

the heartbreaking conclusion, the entire novel

which suddenly becomes one you have never read,

never even heard of,

as if, one by one, the memories you used to harbor

decided to retire to the southern hemisphere of the brain,

to a little fishing village where there are no phones.

Long ago you kissed the names of the nine Muses goodbye

and watched the quadratic equation pack its bag,

and even now as you memorize the order of the planets,

something else is slipping away, a state flower perhaps,

the address of an uncle, the capital of Paraguay.

Whatever it is you are struggling to remember,

it is not poised on the tip of your tongue,

not even lurking in some obscure corner of your spleen.

It has floated away down a dark mythological river

whose name begins with an L as far as you can recall,

well on your own way to oblivion where you will join those

who have even forgotten how to swim and how to ride a bicycle.

No wonder you rise in the middle of the night

to look up the date of a famous battle in a book on war.

No wonder the moon in the window seems to have drifted

out of a love poem that you used to know by heart.

Was Dean Ellenwood ever with Takit? I don't remember...

I was in Houston when Takit first started "touring." The saddest part of all that was that there were articles saying that the group participated in killing babies. Now, looking back. it may have been a reference to the fact that TWI was not against abortion, but it was a very misleading way to say that. The guys were pretty hurt by that - but they came to a local high school and still did a great show.

There is some footage of David G. on the "Music Lover's" thread.

He is pounding the skins for T.O.P.(Tower Of Power)

Some guy named Carlos Sant@na stepped in and did some guitar licks, as well

Kinda tasty for an unknown. ;)
