This is where my sappy over emotional sincerity is finally an advantage. My relationship wasn’t going to change because I missed a month or two or three not talking to him. Peter and Lisa are a fixed star in my universe and the sun may rise and I may get blinded by it but that star is still there.
#BECKERS ANGELS REST TV#
Like relatives I so proudly want to show off I’d bring my young nephew to Vegas to meet them or my new partner I was working on a tv show with or any number of other very important things. That for the years since that burning hot center of gravity called Spundae Peter and Lisa have shared the major movements of my life. I’m super tempted to tell you that back int he day I was just a kid with a rough history trying to get by, that meeting Peter and Lisa, Guiv and Neil Thomas in LA forever changed the course of my life in mind bending and profound ways, That I was able to accomplish things that I never thought possible, or that I deserved, that Peter would joke with me before I played “Don’t cry” because he knew how much this all meant to me (and I would all the time) How when things got bad for me and I faced some pretty gnarly health challenges Peter never discarded me or made me feel like I wasn’t a part of the family. What I never really understood until last night was that my experience as personal as it is to me was one of many. The trajectory of their lives forever altered by this man and their relationships. Every one of them profoundly impacted by Peter and Their relationship to Spundae. Not the details mind you but the broad strokes. I was listening to all the people last night from the memorial broadcast in SF and it started to dawn on me. (God I can see him rolling his eyes and groaning at me right now ) We are creation machines making amazing memories together.
We are the container where all this comes together and gets to have a life of its own. The real gift the thing that creates the alchemy, that special ingredient that makes the music and experiences we have so important, the holy grail is “us”. It was never going to be good enough, no matter how many tracks I put together in what order and I realized that these tools we use to express ourselves are just that - tools. In many ways this was the most difficult 30 min I’ve ever had to program. SO - I was asked to put together a short set for the event (memorial) given that music has always been a straight connection to my emotional soul I had no choice but to dive in. When I put them in an order no matter how hard I try they don’t seem to convey the enormity of what I’m trying to capture, the inadequacy of language in the face of something like this is astounding. Mostly the problem I had with writing something was how small words are. I spent the last couple weeks mostly trying to busy myself rather than confront the emotional tides that have been rolling around beneath the surface. There’s something about doing this that makes it real I guess. I did have my things packed very well but still had MANY things broken.It took me forever to process this enough to be able to write something. They would not let me write on the moving document about responsibility to them for breakage or damage.
The owner did not call back after 4 days so I called him and left a message with the receptionist and still did not hear anything to this day. He did say he would talk to the owner about the jump in price and have him call me back.
I called about 9 days after the move and talked to the man in charge of the move and he said well after 2 weeks thanks for the input. but I sold some ahead of time and left most of the rest behind. I also showed some tools such as a drill press, table saw etc. I showed him what was going to be moved, storage closets etc. One of the owners came to my previous home ahead of time. I was quoted $2360-$2832 Probable Cost of services. Never again! I would not recommend Becker Movers to anyone! I used them at the end of October.
