In rapid succession, Cliff joins on drums, Scott joins on guitar, Cal leaves to devote himself to Six Eye Columbia, and Marina joins on bass. Meanwhile, Adam and Michael begin work on a musical performance piece concerning the life of Branwell Bronte, unsuccessful brother of Charlotte, Emily and Anne, and apply for a grant to produce the show. Everyone thinks, quite rightly, that they're nuts. I Came for Cal. Adam and Michael perform together for the first time ever at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium.
Friends insist it's a success.
Matt Buff joins up on French horn, accordian and melodica, and one of the best bands never to perform enlivens the halls of Fern Alley. Poet Thomas Avena provides encouragement and song titles. Enthusiastic friends form the audience for each new Aner song. No need to wait long, they're coming fast and furious. My Name Is Aner.
