000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001fasolamatt.jpgHe stormed your castle with links aplenty. Now meet the man behind the links (and apparently the beard). Ladies and gentlemen, Fasolamatt:

Now, see, this would be easy if Alex Bevan got his act together.  I’d just link to a video of his classic song “Skinny”, with key lyric “I’m a skinny little boy from Cleveland, Ohio, come to chase your women and drink your beer” and be done with it.
Alas, all Alex has is this lousy video. Fortunately, all photos of me in high school are pre-digital, and hopefully stashed deep in a box somewhere in Ohio.  A friend from Michigan shot this picture, at a fasola singing in Chicago last spring. You can watch a documentary about fasola (aka “Sacred Harp”) tomorrow night on channel 17, so I’ll spare you further details. Let’s see, marketing analytics professional, Indians fan, married with two little boys, live in Macalester-Groveland, yeah, whatever.
