“It’s young people who put life into ritual by making conventions a living part of life: Only old people destroy life by making it a ritual. The boy that belongs to a secret pirates gang and who dreams of defending and abstraction with his blood hasn’t quite died out before twenty-one, you know”

– William Faulkner “Mosquitoes”

This album is dedicated to Bill Williams, my old boss, who told me a long time ago that he knew that I knew that I could love, J.B.
