Woah You Just… Followed Me?? WHY???

When did you first meet Henry? Do you remember what year it was?

Early 1986 or thereabouts!

@fortunateisle I hear you're still kickin'?

Not sure if this has been asked before, but what are your pronouns? I don’t want to assume :)

Thanks for checkin’ in, kid! Referrin’ to me in the third person often involves the “he,” the “him,” and the “his”!

Hey Will, do you *know* who or what is... guarding Henry, so to speak?

I'm pretty sure I do. Can't exactly name it, kid, or I'd be leadin' the bull to the barrel house! I'm sure ya get the idea.

I know where Billy went.

Where?

Henry’s asking about my oldest memory. Now that one I recall, loud and clear. I’m a young man, seventeen or so, tickling the Ivories in the recording room. Singing. Back then we’d have to sing in front of this big horn, real big-like, I ain’t really ever grasped the concept of that thing but I assume it was capturing the sound somehow. I know they connect it to the stylus for the wax, and it etches as we go. That was before the handy dandy microphone, so things were a bit, ah, acoustical. I’m not a very machine-minded guy, I was just there to give them the tunes, so I just gave them the tunes, and left that kinda doohickey managing to the big boys. Nice memory. Air filling in my lungs and then out like a bullet. Sharp and dense enough to knock a guy dead. Don’t remember singing that proudly any other time in my life. My music kept falling off the piano as I practiced.

hey will! hopefully this sends! sorry i don't know a lot of ragtime, but i do know a little bit of the blues, and i was wondering whether this song was related to your song "will you miss me"? i know this one was first recorded around 1931!

Hi there! Thanks for sharing this tune -- it's marvelous! Ain't sure if there's a connection, but there could be -- I'll take a look into it!

So you're single? No reason

S’pose I am! Got my eye on a fella…

Hi William! thanks for the follow! you seem like a pretty neat guy :] I’m curious about this “en abime “ place, so I’m gonna check it out :]

Nice to make your acquaintance! And wahoo! Enjoy your stay!
