Yesterday I told you about Melinda’s and my “song.” Today I’m going to tell you a little more about that story.

So about a year after Melinda laid out the rocks in our house (btw, they ended in our bedroom with three rocks saying “I love you” and another saying “Happy Birthday!”), Scott Garred, aka Super XX Man, was scheduled to play at a small venue in Seattle. I had recently contacted Scott through his website in an attempt to get all of his CDs. He was so friendly and responsive to my email messages that I got a little bold.

“Any chance you’d play ‘Collecting Rocks’ in Seattle and dedicate it to my wife and me?”

He did.
