Dark Side Summer − 21 May, 2005
On this date, a period of my life began that I later came to call Dark Side Summer.
My wife got a summer internship to Cambodia. Now, she has always been supportive of my music. This was the very night she was to be flying out of the U.S., hypothetically gone for three months. And yet, where were we?
She was with me, while I played a show at the Shamrock with Killarney Star.
Talk about sacrifice! She gave up her last night in the western hemisphere before her trip to be with me in a smoky bar, watching me play bass. We had already packed, and when we left the show, we left the city -- to Orlando Airport, 100 miles away. And from there, she traveled another 10,000 miles.
Now, I've already written at length about the horrors that happened, the near death experience, and the mystery of my wife's continuing illness. See, on my first Jamendo album, evolution, there is a song called "Missing You (Song for Hannah)", written when I was fearing for her life and far away from being able to help. I told the whole story on the liner notes for this song, which I posted to my blog on Wordpress. Here's the links:

- The story is told in five parts on my blog (scroll down to song #7 and follow the five links).
- For the actual song, have a listen to evolution, track #7.
