#1 Fan

Check out this voice-mail I received from my brother-in-law-in-law, one half of the modestly successful and largely experimental duo who call themselves WGWIW (White Guys with Indian Wives)

Tom Moore, I know sometimes when a serious music artist doesn't hear his songs playing on the radio, or the little teenagers screaming his name he feels like his music is not making a difference. But, I want you to know: I never change your song on my run and today you powered me through my fourth mile. Your voice did it buddy! You inspired me with your lyrics, your melody putting together those powerful guitar riffs. Your song got me through my fastest four miles ever. Thank you, Thomas Moore and thank you brilliant musical engineering skills.

This is Antonio Bassolino, your #1 fan.

In response to my question, "Who are we like?" I received quite a detailed explanation of the entire OTSB debut album. Thanks a lot anonymous!
