Raising my glass to Ed
On Friday, just as I was about to watch the intro to The Littlest Hobo my laptop seized up. No worries, I figured, my trusty iBook G4 had been through a few turns before, nothing it couldn’t survive. So I put it in my bag and figured I’d deal with it when I got home.
But it turned out I was too late.
As if by heart attack, or attack by germs and other microbes, my Pants had been taken away from me. Serious hardware malfunction. No backs.
Which kind of left me in an awkward position, what with Pants being the only other member of Canadia, and us going on tour in a week and a half. He was in charge of the bulk of the music, and he was dead.
I swear to you within twelve hours everything was okay, in the form of one Ed Musik. This handsome devil just happened to be in Auckland, which is not normal. He also just happened to have an iBook G4 with him, same model as Pants. He also offered to lend it to me for the duration of the tour.
What a champion. Am I wrong?
So before anyone even knew a thing Ed Musik had saved my soy rashers. Someone buy that guy a beer, and I’ll see you on the road.
