Moon McGeoch is one of the nicest neighbors I have ever had, he also has the best name of any neighbor I have ever had. It is pronounced Moon (as in moon) Mah-Gooch. Moon is a musician and friend, he often comes out to talk when Red and I walk by his house, which I often photograph and which lies on the southern boundary of our farm.

Being a musician these days is not easy, and Moon and I share our stories of the creative life.

Moon plays gigs around Cambridge and in Saratoga, and he is celebrating right now because he and some people he plays with might soon link up to do a concert with Chris Poland of Megadeth. He and Moon went to school together when they were kids, and they recently played together in Rochester.

It was also Moon’s birthday last week, we treated him to some cookies from the Round House. Meet Moon.
