In another amusing example of the funny way my life goes, I was just telling The Roomie about my dad and uncles and their musical inclinations on the way home from work yesterday, and who sends me an email today pointing me to a webpage about his old band, The Rites? Uncle Pete Kerezman, that’s who!

You know, maybe it’s a reflection on my poor memory retention (especially from childhood) or my lack of attention to detail, but I don’t remember Uncle Pete wearing an eyepatch. And yet, apparently, he did just that during the halcyon days of his music career.

I wonder how many people suggested he dress as a pirate for Halloween…
