Guitar Hero
A year and a half ago, I married my sweetheart and best buddy. A friend of ours, John, learned U2’s “All I want is you” for the occasion, but didn’t end up performing.
“I was young then, and didn’t mind the rowdy”
I visited Loussac Library this evening, and spend a bit of time checking out a fascinating photography and oral history exhibit, “When Crab was King: Faces of the Kodiak King Crab Fishery 1950 – 1982.”
