The stars have finally aligned, sports fans! You can delete my queries about Carrie Biell because I have found her after a ten year search. I should say that my buddy at KEXP radio, Tom Smith, found her. Well, maybe a friend of Tom’s. Or a friend of Tom’s friend. Ach! It doesn’t matter. The important thing that she is found. The other important thing is that she is writing again and has already jumped back into the deep end of the musical pool.
His name is Jim Colegrove but I know him by his AKA, Coolgroove, because that is how I want to know him. He’s no youngster, a few years older than myself (I’m a fossil), and has been a guitar playing fool all of his adult life and most of his childhood. If I asked him if he thought when he was young that he would be still playing today, I am sure he would say no. It was a dream back in the fifties when he got his first guitar. He has relived that dream every day since because when he isn’t playing music, he’s thinking it. He got the bug early and the reason I’m telling you is that I got the bug too. I had a chance to live it but in those days you had to be a special breed to stick it out. I had the talent. I just didn’t have the discipline. Jim had (has) plenty of both.
