Photo by Blake Studdard.

Picking a highlight reel for Evan was just about the hardest thing I’ve ever done. His photo work is extensive and captivating. Check it out on his website or his flickr. And without further ado, I present to you Evan James French…

When I was 3 or 4 years old, I made my dad play “Dixie Chicken” off Little Feat’s Waiting for Columbus live record so I could try and get the drum part down.
