Play me my song … here it comes again
I’m listening to Nursery Cryme and it reminds me of Wes, especially “The Musical Box”. I got this album when I was visiting him in Pennsylvania, the summer of 1991. We went to see Terminator 2 and then I found this album on tape. We listened to it on his old stereo, which had a really nice tape deck. The sound of this album is so antique, it’s charming, and yet still quite moving. I used to make Wes these Genesis mix tapes spanning their entire career. I think I made four in all, and they were all cassette dubs so the sound couldn’t have been that great, but I know he listened to them quite a lot. He and Adam were—and still are—the only people with whom I could listen to Genesis and not be embarrassed. I miss Wes. Maybe I’ll call him on his birthday.
