@_the_cloud I was reading your story and saw the picture with "Prophet, Charles" and chuckled:
"Hey that kid's got the same name as the guy who wrote "Balinese Dancer", a neat song that featured on a compilation CD put together by the Belgian record label PIAS over 3 decades ago!" (my brain is weird).
Next thing you know, it's HIM! What are the odds?!

@onegeekarmy That page doesn't load for me (error 503), but yes, Balinese Dancer is a great blues song. He was recording his first solo album in 1990, same year that I got a job offer from Apple. The thing that struck me is how we're all connected in some way, whether we realize it or not. It's easier to realize now that we have social media, but the six degrees of separation concept is real.

@_the_cloud It's crazy, isn't it? A bit vertiginous, even. I almost fell off my chair :)
This is the cover of the promotional CD he was on, and a screenshot of the track listing. He's in very good company :)
