Ten years ago, I called out of work hopped in my best friends car and went on a "surprise" adventure. The surprised was to see David Bazan of Pedro the Lion play a "living room" style show down in Troy, NY. Probably like 30-40 people in a small room, listening to my favorite artist/story teller do their thing. Felt like magic, almost a vision state experience. He took requests and answered questions. But I felt like I won the golden ticket. After the show wrapped up, he was taking pictures with fans, hand shakes and high fives. I got to ask him a heavy question. You see, I was 3 weeks out from getting married and about 4 months out from becoming a father. I got to ask Dave (He corrected me when I said David), What advice do you have for an expecting father and soon to be husband? What seems to many a very heavy and deep question, but he grinned like I gave him a softball question. He said, be present. Do the small things well. Then he snuck in the dad story of skin-to-skin moments…
