Hand

The high school that I attended had about 2500 students at the time I was there. My graduating class numbered around 580. I wasn't interested in being friends with any of them. I think the fact that I was an introverted kid with a large collection of wool ties that I wore to school was enough to narrow down the field of human interaction available to me. Of the 4 friends I had at my high school, there's only one I still speak to today on a regular basis. That man is Bryan Jay.

Bryan and I had Music Theory together and randomly struck up a friendship. We started writing music together and formed a band that never amounted to much more than some horrible recordings. Bryan has been pretty quiet musically the past couple of years, but he recorded a handful of songs under the moniker Woodshed Diaries. He has a deep, smooth singing voice that I'm insanely jealous of and would always write the most painfully sad song. This song is called "Hand."



Bryan also did a self-portrait of himself that I used for the very first Ghostbeard EP in 2008. So that cover gives you a good idea of what he looks like.

The circuitry is exaggerated, but the monocle is accurate.
