I have had so many events in my life that were riddled with Synchronicity that a friend once told me in response to the latest happening: "Of course that happened. Am I supposed to be surprised? I have just come to expect that from you."
I can remember back in 1997 when the guitarist in my band blurted out something about Synchronicity and I had know idea what he was talking about. Actually, I met him based on Synchronicity! Earlier that week, I had compiled a list of my favorite bands on a piece of paper and put it in my wallet. That Saturday night, I ended up going to see another friend's band in a club I had never been to before in Deep Ellum in Dallas.
I started talking to a taper at the show and we started talking about music and my keyboard background and he directed me to talk to some guy who was in the crowd taping also. He was interested in playing music and possibly starting a band. I walked up to him and he asked what kind of music I liked. I said "Funny that you ask...". So I reached into my wallet and handed him the piece of paper that had something like 100 bands written on it. He started examining my list and realized that we both liked a lot of the same bands and music. I was impressed when he actually knew who Ozric Tentacles was! Some of the BEST Ethnic Psychedelic Space Rock this side of Pleaides! Both of us loved Primus, Rush, Zappa, Genesis, Pink Floyd, etc.
Well, we ended forming the Dallas-Based Progressive Trance-Fusion band Magpu in 1998 and the rest is history.
