Songs for My Brother, Part One
Jon will be here in just two weeks. We’ll spend four whole days together, without interruption. I am so excited I can barely contain my smiling.
Whenever my brother comes see me, it’s always like this. An idea, a comparison of schedules, and a decision to see me, always never too long to wait.
Jon is my one person, you know? That person I never have to hide from, the one who is always in my corner.
The one who drove me across country to try a different life, the one who drove me back when things didn’t work out. We shared Wyoming at sunrise with gas station coffee and chain smoking, mix-tapes and plans for the new leg of adventure in my life.
When we’re together it’s always music, drinks, art and food, in that order. I have so many new music discoveries to share with him, and he is bringing me more work to hang on my walls. He will mix me new personalized cocktails and I will cook him a fine dinner using some of the new tricks I have up my sleeve.
We’ll share pitchers of beer and play pool, and when we go to bed at night I’m sure we’ll be up for hours talking before sleep descends.
This Northern Picture Library track is right up his alley and today he called me excitedly to serenade me with “Patience,” which he made me promise to post tonight, in his honor.

Aw, that’s sweet. I wish my brother was remotely like that!

Your relationship with your brother is the kind I always wished for when I occasionally thought I’d like to have a sibling [but then of course I thought about all the people with terrible sibling relations and how nothing was guaranteed and how my mother couldn’t have another child or risk death, sooooo… yeah]. It’s really touching! :D
