I love that you still call him Buckwheat.
that's what he was calling himself when i met him. i was always impressed, both with his songwriting skills, but with that beautiful voice. hypnotising and effortless beauty. and he was a sweet, sweet kid.
What an interesting mix--nostalgic, wistful. . . but the bonus track tells me, hopeful,too.
