Friday Dance Party: La Flavour – Mandolay

Another song forever associated with a boy I dated back in the day.

Two things remind me of Brian Butcher: this song and a patchwork suede jacket I bought from the clothing store he was working in at the time. The last photo I have of him dates from 1982 (the one above is from 1979). We lost touch shortly thereafter and last I’d heard he’d relocated to Southern California. I often wonder if he’s still among the living, and if so, where life has taken him.

The trouble with having dated men with fairly common names is that even in the age of the Internets it’s impossible to track them down. Probably a good thing, come to think of it…
