I was there at its premiere 17 years ago (was it that long ago already??) as a quiet 19-year-old disciple of James Liddy, and I was better known as "Dave's brother Mark" at that time (or: unknown at all). I remember the intensity of both yourself as well as that of Pavel Burda. I was unaware of all that was going on in your life at that time. The quote, "All that we saw was his shadow under his shield" meant a lot to me at the time, and it still stays with me to this day, along with the music that helped shape that phrase.
