FWIW this is my final post to the dbis. It has been a fascinating time…getting to know some of you & journeying, travelling, voyaging through DavidBs catalogue. I’ve seen all there is to see, I believe, & experienced the gamut herein of those lost & those still ever-present in words & in the very lurk that is this internet frontage which has offered US up the opportunity to meet a hero-antihero-hero to some degree while also certainly drawing thicker lines between us all, en masse, who may or may not have ventured down beneath the cracks as far as one’s own individual mind can vista. I’m pleased as unpackaged pachyderm to have sidled up to the bar & truly imagine myself to be a better person for the involvement as a whole. Thanks to our own efforts & some heartwarming gifts from the body dbisly there will be David Baerwald music on a loop for as long as we two shall live.

This is in wishing all of you more of the days ahead…& fewer of the days past (although as most of you know, give or take those pesky shills & toadies present, that we should remember key aspects of our actual &/or possible pasts..bla..bla..blah). I bid you a kind of zazen peace, DavidB, you dear agnostic Templar Knight of the 20th & 21st Centuries, dear Anarcho-syndicalist Robin Hood gone to ground. May this world one day After All the Hubbub Is Transpired rise to meet you halfway; may you know for certain on that one day that you certainly were NOT alone in this, oh brother, my brother — even if you did bravely cover ground that most of us never will. I pass my sustained torchlight to those scrappy few in the room who’ve loved Maya & me while allowing us to love you too; we pass our dbis light to you with hope that yours will flicker even brighter. & with one final Em puff of airwaves
