Too Sentimental





Roger gave me private art lessons when I was probably around 13 or 14 years old. My mom arranged it, Roger was her friend and akin to her, he was typically frantic and chain smoking. He was a nice man and a terrific painter but I cannot recall if I made anything particularly spectacular under his tutelage. However, we spent most of our class sessions discussing music and he would give me great albums, Joy Division, Bauhaus, Roxy Music, and Bowie. He had a really sweet wife and a cute little daughter, maybe a three or four year old with blond hair.

So I wonder where you're at and what you're doing Roger, haven't heard from you.
