You Tampa kids most likely know Brian Ward from his gigs as downstairs DJ at the Castle.
He is also known as
--- "Your Musical Friend"
--- "DJ Pretty Bird"
--- and "Your Tighter Musical Friend".
He is also sometimes reffered to as "M.T." or "Multiple Rattails". He has a nice jawbone and is
some sort of Boy Scout or something.
Really.
He does it every summer.
It confounds me as well.

P.S. I made up the titles to these pieces. If the titles seem stupid, don't blame Brian Ward,

Here we see Brian Ward experimenting with high subject matter. This dyptic will be the cover of the second chapbook in the GREAT MINDS IN THE COMMONPLACE series: Foreign Exchange. Except when they're on the cover of the book, they'll have words all over top of em and they don't look as good, but how is anyone gonna know what's in the book if we don't put some words on the outside? Seriously, get off it. Geez.
In Real Life Though, They Smell Quite Tart
