Aaron Dugan
aaron is a guitar player. many people have also called him a thinker. there's not much money in thinking or guitar playing, so he'll continue to eat falafel twice a week and drink from fresh new york city puddles. that's where he lives, by the way. he originally lived in philadelphia. he's been playing original music since-he can't remember exactly when-but i'd say from the age of fourteen. he's not a workaholic. i'm sure he's a somethingaholic but i'm not quite sure yet what that something is. he likes to play many kinds of music with many kinds of musicians and non-musicians. he once told me that he heard from a birdie that sometimes someone calls his/herself a musician and then begins to dislike simple music. he told me that he wants to continue to enjoy simple music. he's not a musician anymore. i guess he's not a guitar player either...............
