Excellent piece, Marcus. I knew you would talk about The Baseball Project, especially after that opening and talk about journeymen! I am a huge McCaughey fan boy (though fan man has a better ring to it and is more accurate). I saw The Minus 5 in 2019, I guess it was called the Stroke Manor tour and it was hard to tell Scott had a stroke at all. It was amazing, and having Mike Mills playing adds so much. Scott has a good voice, but with Mike added, it's fantastic.
I had no idea there was a new Baseball Project album! Playing it now. Of course, right after the season ended...:)
I got to see Young Fresh Fellows play at a small club in San Francisco, probably in 1992 or 1993, and although it's mostly a blur, I do remember drummer Tad had a splash cymbal on a super tall flexi-stand and when he hit it, it's swing back and forth, almost hitting the other band members!
Thanks Steve. When I saw the Baseball Project back in August, the whole band came out after the show and I got to meet some of my heroes. It was great!
I didn’t know about the Fresh Young Fellows until I started working on this piece. Sounds like they might have been pretty raucous back in the day.

Great piece! But the birth of your children didn't even make the greatest moments of your life list in paragraph 6. Brutal.
I absolutely adore my kids 5 days a week!
Great piece. Thanks.
