a little while ago i thought of my roommate in carbondale when i was thinking musically. pete introduced me to some beautiful timeless tunes i still love today. we last talked decades ago in bucktown. i lost touch. a couple weeks ago i asked the school to contact him for me and he called last night. i wrote back saying i'm going to the dentist early and may be hurting later, and can i call this week. he wrote back with hope i will feel better, and reminded me he was with me at the dentist in carbondale when i had that horrific abscess and the student dentist kept drilling with novocaine that gave zero relief. that was over forty years ago. his disc jockey name at the college radio station was floss daily.
