When I was a little boy and I would tell my grandfather Casey something I\nthought was terribly important or interesting, he would feign amazement and\nsay, \u201cWho knew?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first few times he responded in this way I replied, \u201cI did.\u201d Eventually I came to realize Who knew?<\/em> was his way of saying, \u201cOh my gosh,\u201d or \u201cIsn\u2019t that something,\u201d or \u201cHow unexpected.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the time I was a teenager, I knew that many Jewish people used the\nexpression, and to this day when I encounter someone who comes out with Who knew?<\/em> (usually with a tone of humorous\nirony) I feel an immediate affinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does this have to do with our new CD Through the Fire<\/em>?<\/a> Well\u2026 when we were making the album we had about forty-five minutes of music to present. A standard CD holds about seventy-two minutes of content and we thought it would be fun to fill some of the remaining space with a story or two of mine, one of the Healing stories and\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh please read Of Onyx and Guinea\nPigs<\/em>,\u201d said Marcia, emphatically. \u201cIt\u2019s both believable and beyond\nbelievable, and it\u2019s so<\/em> funny.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I recorded the memoir in Peter Temple\u2019s studio where we\u2019ve made all our albums<\/a> and where I\u2019ve recorded all my audio books<\/a>, and Peter thought the story was fiction<\/a>, which it is not, though it certainly could be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that Through the Fire<\/em> is\nout in the world and we\u2019ve gotten responses from friends and DJs, Of Onyx and Guinea Pigs<\/em> is by far the\nmost talked about track on the album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My response is \u201cWho knew?\u201d And the answer is, Marcia did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
