Who is Gary Louris anyway?

The only way we can get our blog to appear when you search under the logical key words is if we mention Gary Louris, the "other" Louris. Gary "Louris" was born in 1955 and is a country musician, according to wikipedia. He was a longtime member of a band called the Jayhawks, based in Minneapolis. The real Louris, on the other hand, has a very tenuous connection to Minnesota but was born in a much cooler city than Toledo, Ohio. Unfortunately, his fingers are a few inches too short to play the guitar...

PS Vromyar is no more. He tore his doorbell out of the wall, leaving a gaping hole in the plaster and our hearts. His last act as a resident of the building was dramatic, as befits him. It might be just a coincidence, but ya don't see so many dead cucas around these days.
