Update:
The occasion: Nate’s farewell party
The song: Keep the promise
The players: All of us, and more
You know how things are. Just when everything sounds normal, something or someone (in this case, both) comes and shakes you up… and then things get radioactive. So it was with Nate. We weren’t doing too badly, you know. We had Bruce on guitar, Rzhude on bass, Rajeev on drums, Tony on guitar and Chandy doing his keyboard-guitar number. And then, out of the woodwork comes Nate Linkon. And he brings not just himself but his saxophone as well – and suddenly, Thermal And A Quarter sounds different, fuller, madder…
But now, work takes Nate and his sax to London. We knew from the start that it was going to be just a sojourn, the briefest of honeymoons, but we didn’t think it would gnaw at all of us like it does now. Nate has played close to ten gigs with us and toured through some of the best ones in Delhi. It’s been a fantastic trip with this sax-toting, speed-racing, beer-guzzling, heart-breaking young fella.
Love you lots, man. This is not adieu, just au revoir.
