Band of Brothers

From the moment I met him, which was a couple years ago now, I knew there was something familiar about my Rakish coworker Brad Zellar. He looked an awful lot like the musician Martin Zellar, the guy my high school friends used to follow around to beer bashes and the Taste of Minnesota concerts. It occurred to me sometime later: these two talented fellows even share a last name. Hmpf. In any case, Martin Zellar is gigging in beautiful Excelsior, Minnesota this evening. This strikes me as another of those mirthful most-wonderful-time-of-the-year entertainment offerings, although, as far as I know, the show’s not expressly holiday-themed.
