New Cyrkle Video For Red Rubber Ball

I'm thrilled to finally tell you all about one of the things that I've been working on the past five months. Earlier this year, the Cyrkle were approached by a division of Universal to re-record their hit songs. I helped to organize a recording session in early March to record six songs, both familiar and new to Cyrkle fans. Some of these songs will be available soon, and to get you ready for what's to come, the band has put together a great video to their new version of Red Rubber Ball. The current Cyrkle lineup is just amazing, and here's the sight and sound to prove it.

When I was young, I loved the music of the Cyrkle. Now I've executive produced the band's first studio recordings in 52 years. Dream big, kids. Someday, it all may come true, in ways you didn't even dream about.

Still there'll be more. See you there, and see you on the road.

Happy Birthday Jan

Hello Jan. Today would have been, and will always be your 86th birthday. It has been almost a year since you went on to your next adevnture. You were ready to go, and I know that wherever you are now, you are making the most of the journey. I am so glad that you and Morry didn’t have to navigate this year. Still, the world still seems that much more empty in your absence. One of the many fallacies in life is that one is able to better deal with loss as one gets older. The truth is that, given time, one is only better at getting used to the hole that’s left behind when someone you love goes away. But, the hole is still there. And that is what we, those still in this place that knew and love you, have been doing since you left. Grateful for having known you, but still trying to fill the complicated holes that your loss has left behind.

I still want to share with you all of the things that we talked about, and enjoyed. I still want to email you at the end of each day. Still want to run home to talk with you on Friday nights, be it via Skype or phone. Drive eleven hours to visit you. Yeah, I’d do it all again, because I never wanted it to end. All of your writings sit close to my office, all still in the order that you left them. Someday soon, I’ll go through it all. You told me that it doesn’t matter what happens to it. But it does, and it does to me. And always will.

Last month, during a quiet moment, I decided to visit your Facebook page to make myself feel better. I couldn’t find it. The links, the page, anything. And for lack of a better phrase, I absolutely freaked out. Going through the laptop that you left me, I discovered that if one doesn’t log into a Facebook page for eleven months, the account is snoozed, then deleted once a full year has passed. I had logged in three days before your account was going to be deleted. I figured out how to log in, and your account was instantly back online. I’m still not prepared to let you go, Jan, anymore that I’ve already had to. Sentimental? Unwilling to budge any more than life forces me to? Yes, on all counts, Jan. And I know that you felt the same way. 

Today, I remind myself that you are still us. As long as those of us that knew and loved you speak your name. As long as your voice still guides us through this complicated maze of existence. For as long that your life bettered those around you, and we are still better because of you, you are still here. We will always miss you, and those missing pieces will continue to stay with us, until we someday see each other again. Your story goes on, and there will always be birthdays to celebrate. Be it in this place, or wherever your adventures now take you to. 

Happy birthday, Jan. I wish you could be here. But I know that you still are.

All my love, 

-Daniel
