Travel Music

Most of us listen to music. Jake Reidt and several friends that comprise the Pullman band Ether Hour make it.

Jake was part of a group of guys I've met with weekly (at least that is the idea) for the past five years before he relocated his family to Pullman to be closer to his engineering job at a leading Palouse tech company.

As much as the rest of us in the group grumbled about Jake radically shortening his daily commute (since that left a hole in our group), the choice has been a gift for Jake and his family. And one thing that has developed in the time he used to spend driving up and down 195 is music.

I drove down this past weekend for dinner with Jake and picked up the Ether Hour CD at Hastings in Pullman before driving back up. I like it a lot. And I like the community Jake and his wife Tatsu have created in Pullman - also in the space they've created in their lives.

P.S. The image on the front of the CD cover is the view off the Reidt's back deck. Travel back there is best done by tractor.
