Laura Dillon said...: Malcolm!
I was so happy to find you and see that you've done so well with your music career. Do you remember playing for Amanda when she was an infant? I'd like to reconnect with both you and Barbara. Sent you a facebook friend add request. Couldn't do that with Barbara for some reason. She may search for me by email phtgrphybylaura@yahoo.com

Amanda is 25 and lives in New York. You'll see lots of photos of her on my facebook page :) I loved being your neighbor in SF up on Nob Hill way back in 1985!

Happy New Year!

About Rush

Rush DeNooyer has been playing music since the third grade. After wrestling unsuccessfully with recorder and trombone for several years, he switched to an instrument that did not use his mouth and took up guitar. In 1968, he met Malcolm Brooks and the two started playing guitar, eventually graduating from basements to recording studios. They have been musical partners ever since, playing folk, rock, country, as well as composing scores for film and television. Now in their fourth decade of making music together, Malcolm and Rush are currently recording a CD of guitar duets. In addition to producing, arranging, and playing music, Rush is an award-winning documentary filmmaker whose work appears regularly on PBS and cable.
