A Good Friend

One person I consider a good friend is a guy called Martin who I first met when I was 18 or 19 years old. We met when he auditioned as drummer for the band I played in. He's 3 or 4 years younger than me but we always got on really well. I don't think that we are that similar in terms of personality but we share similar tastes in music and sense of humour. We also both like football. We shared a house for 6 months in the late 80's when we lived in London and continued to play music together whenever we could. I like Martin because he's a down-to-earth person with a great temperament. He’s also really talented. He’s a great artist (he draws) and a brilliant drummer (you can listen to a song we composed together here: http://www.myspace.com/uktheotherside/music/songs/isolated-78640997).   

During the 1990's Martin and I lost touch, I was living in Spain and he had moved to New York. We kept in touch by letter for some time but we both changed address and somehow lost contact. In 2007 I manage to get back in touch with Martin when I got in contact with a band he used to play with in New York. I saw his name on their website and although he was no longer a member of the band they were still in touch with him. I passed through New York on my way to Britain in 2007 and we meet up for 12 hours. Since then we keep in contact via mail and facebook.
