Song of the Day - Nightswimming by R.E.M.

I remember "back in the day" being at a party at Stephen Kapulka's house. It was late at night and the party was winding down. On cue, my buddy Pat Bellavance took out his guitar and began playing Nightswimming. The few remaining party goers immediately stopped talking and listened as he played a song that was known for its piano on his guitar. It was truly a beautiful moment; one that you actually reflect on as it's happening. I remember thinking I wish I could stay young forever laughing and partying with my friends for the fall was coming and we were all going somewhere. My reflection ended after Pat finished playing the song because something that I only noticed occurred. It was an extremely funny moment that Pat and I still talk about. For all of our local friends who will buy (no sharing you cheap etc...) and read T.R.W. the quick scene that features Night Swimming is all Bellavance. That's how our boy played his game. God love him!
