So you want to contact Brian Eno? (2000)

I miss the pre-monitized internet. I emailed Jonathan Coulton and asked if I could bring my uke to a show and join him in stage. I don't know why I thought he'd say yes, but he did said yes. I met up with him in the green room and we did a quick rehearsal then on stage he called me up and we performed a song. Surreal.

I have never been able to successfully replicate this sequence of events with another musician though....

This is amazing. When I was younger I used to write bands that I love. I'd contact them with praise, or asking with help on chord progressions, and never received anything back.

One day I mailed an indie band from Canada and told them how much I loved their record and how incredible it was. I received an email back saying thanks that was signed with a name that I didn't recognize. I looked at their website and it was their drummer. I loved it. One of the very happy moments in my musical journey.

I simply love these artists that are so unpretentious. Huge fan of Jonathan Coulton, big nerd and nice guy.

I wonder if Jack Stauber would react the same way.
