John Mahoney Makes Me Smile

I received a call during the week from John's son Matt.  I was busy at the time so it didn't really sink in that I would shortly be talking to his father (kind of strange because Matt is older than John when we were together in McLuhan and both 20 years old). 

I left my voice message for John a little sheepishly feeling that maybe I would be intruding (you know why don't you leave the past alone or something).  That feeling quickly evaporated when I heard John singing excerpts from the McLuhan album on the voice mail he left me.  It was a noticeably deeper voice but there was no mistaking the old vocal chcords behind it.

We reminisced for about 1/2 hour that seemed like a minute this morning and agreed that we would be getting together in a couple of weeks.  I was happy to hear that John was playing and performing in the Chicago area (guitar and vocals) so that is really exciting.

I thought about the Chicago tune John liked to sing (Make Me Smile) because that is what I have been doing all day today.
