Surfing
around, I encountered a beautiful song written and performed by Stephen
Fretwell, a musician who appears to have created more than just that one
beautiful song: at least one EP and two albums. First listening exposure
through YouTube reveals an artist with warm honesty in his voice and playing.
As I tried to locate where he's at right
now (new album? touring? other?), it appeared the last signs on the internet from
him date some years back. There are some messages of fans asking him for a sign
or an update, but it remains awfully quiet. In the meantime, I decided to do
some illegal downloading to try and get to swiftly listen to one of his albums.
When the download was almost in, but temporarily stuck, only one song was in yet, called 'Dead'. Now, I'm not a superstitious person, and I do strongly
believe coincidence is more omnipresent than our constantly structuring brains
make us believe, but I didn't like how this got back to my gut feeling. More
importantly, it feels terrible to find a beautiful musician and then get the
semblance of him having disappeared off the face of the earth. So, to make this semblance disappear, I'm on the
lookout for a sign.
