This is Jeremy writing, the singer and guitar player - you know, Jeremy Saxon Band, used to be Old Town Squares. Listen, it's been good and I'll be leaving now, going to sow my blue seed back home in San Francisco. I want to thank all of you before I go, not only for helping to support the band during these years, and not only for coming up to us during the gigs and telling us you liked what we were doing. The main thanks is for those moments, when the volume was right and the feeling was right and the groove was on and the eye contact happened; and no one had to say anything about it because everybody knew. We couldn't have done that without you, you were part of it and it was like the best part of sex, when the personalities are indis- tinguishable and the rhythm rules. I grew up in this town, as far as I'll ever grow up. I was a wannabe when I came here, and step by step, night by night and song by song while you were watching and drinking and thinking and listening and not listen- ing, I've honed it down and worked it up, to the point where I'm doing damn near exactly what I want to be doing. My fantasy has become my real life. Thank you for helping. Thank you for being here, HUMANIFESTO and thank you for being beautiful. If you want to come by and say so long, we'll still HUMANIFESTO be at Scarlett's on Thursdays and Red Hot on Saturdays, these last few weeks until the Millenium, plus the assorted other few shows I'm off to newer pastures now, and I Discontent is the first step in the progress of a man or hope to see you all at some point.
