Touch

One of the weirdest things happened to me this evening.

We went to see a band which I have seen many times and have been always such a tight outfit, maybe this is what made me less than admirative of bands that could barely hold a beat. I knew so many of those songs and played them on the bass so often I could remember them all.

Great gig, I doubt I could see a better drummer this year.

Anyway that weird thing. Two thirds through the gig, this woman comes up to me and says 'Are you the young 'insert surname here'?'

'Erm, yes.'

It turns out that the woman in question was a girlfriend of my neighbour's big brother, by my calculation 35 years ago and she knew my sister. I thought it was only me that ran into people who I knew who had literally no idea who I was. I felt somewhat reassured.
