Andrew Mohr’s “Craggy Niches” from the Last Decade
Andrew Mohr is one of those people who move through your life for a brief while, yet leave lasting trails of influence for years. I met Andrew in High School and back in those long ago days he was one of the first “Punks” I’d ever met. Although he was deep into a period of wild years he always seemed to exude a clear and deep intelligence. This intellect mixed with intense curiosity and humor has grown and refined with Andrew in the decades since then. As with so many early then lost friendships, we were recently reconnected through the magic of Facebook. Although we are both entirely different people than we were in those days some things remain. Andrew’s curiosity has led him to explorations of cooking, baking and raising chickens! Oddly enough these same threads/interests are among my pursuits as well. Andrew has always had a keen and critical ear in regards to music and this passion seems alive and well. Simply put he’s one of those people I’m glad to have (however electronically distant!) in my life. I know that when I communicate with him we can range from Louis-Ferdinand Celine to bread recipes to the finer points of Can’s album “Ege Bamyasi” without skipping a beat. His thoughtful opinions are a “No-Bullshit” breath of fresh air. Here is his list!
