My wedding had a positive impact on more lives than just mine and Dr. LP's, it seems. Brian Sacawa, a fabulous musician and a genuinely good soul, has given me more credit than I perhaps deserve for introducing him to the woman of his dreams -- who happens to be one of my most cherished friends and valued colleagues. But on behalf of both Lara and myself, I am completely thrilled to claim at least partial credit for inspiring this.
Deepest, warmest and heartiest congratulations to Brian and to his inamorata, who I'll allow the pleasure of revealing herself in a place and time of her own choosing. (And to those who already know: ssshhhhhhhhhhh! Let her have some fun with this!)
I think you deserve all the credit in the world, dude. If only all the gigs we turn down could lead to such happiness!

No secrecy intended; I just type a little slower than everyone else. (The things that happen when you don't have your own blog!) But many, many thanks, Steve, for, well, everything. See, I really meant it when I told you that you'd probably changed the course of my whole life. Crazy how that works out. Guess Frank Capra was right.

Wow, I just caught wind of all this nuptual furore! Thank God I outed my bride-to-be in the New Yorker. But forgive me, as I don't know Brian, I have no idea to whom he is engaged. Can anyone clear this up for me?

Danny, Brian is saxophonist and blogger Brian Sacawa. He is engaged to Molly Sheridan, who outed herself a few days later on Sequenza 21, and again in the comment that appears directly above yours. The two of them were introduced, quite innocently, by me.
