Then, after reading Maureen Harmon's editorial in the July issue of the Denison Magazine regarding a particular alum who had boasted about never having read an issue of the Denison Magazine, I was determined to read every page. That proved to be serendipitous, as upon turning to page 59, I recognized a photo of the same two aforementioned brother musicians in a more in-depth history of how the nine-year-apart Denison graduates ended up in Nashville to form a band together named ik ben (the name based on Scott's early years living in Holland). Let it suffice to say that as a product of Denison's music department I have always been an aficionado of various musical styles, and I could not be a bigger fan of the two boys whose talents originated (as far as we know) with their maternal great grandmother (Ohio Wesleyan and the Boston Conservatory of Music) and paternal grandmother (Denison), albeit with slightly different musical styles. I recently purchased ik ben's latest vinyl release Ocean Wayfare. Now I just need to find a turntable. I thought they had gone the way of the 8-track!
