Who Are You?

To my brother, Harris,

I wish you were still around so I could ask you why Quadaphenia had the ocean sounds throughout the entire rock opera.  Honestly, I wish you were still here so I could brag to you about the amazing concert I just saw.  I know you would have appreciated it and I just wish you were around to talk to about the show.  But you are not around, so I will tell you how great the show really turned out to be.  I had only heard the album when you played it, and boy, was it boring.  But, hearing the album live, I think it is totally awesome and I have a new found appreciation for Pete Townshend.  He is incredibly creative!  I had forgotten about the song Dr. Jimmy and Mr. Jim and was so pleased when I heard the song.  I know you would have been singing along with me throughout the whole concert, and at the end of Quadraphenia they played a bunch of their favorites (and mine!)  I hate that you aren't here to enjoy this with me, but your nephew and nieces were very upset they weren't along!  Reminds me of when we both saw The Who back in high school...as great as they were back then, this concert was even better.  I know you would have had a blast!

As good a time as I had at this concert, I really missed you alot tonight.  I am happy to know that you are still in my thoughts and my music.  I love you bro!
