The Song: “Molten Wax” written by Tom Adamon 1999, performed by M.COTU from the LP Anthems for Wednesday 2000. (Currently out of print) Also heard in this episode are strains of the song “The Wind” off the same album.

The Friend: Heather began an interest in my music when we became friends as college freshmen. She was an integral member of the entourage of my first band, M.COTU, which I co-founded with Daniel Lambert in the fall of 1996. Her husband of 15+ years, Jason, was a mutual friend of mine and the band’s. I am proud to say I was the best man in their wedding (Mike Bruneau’s Dad “Pastor Bill” was the officiant.) She currently works as a Grant Officer for IWU in Marion, IN, where she lives with Jason and their children.
