I was afraid that the Wooster connection would be appreciated by no one outside of our family. I had wondered about SJ fans in Wooster and if they know what a close connection David has to Wooster. I may be the Cleveland show. I won't be able to go to the one in Indy (where I live) as I'll be on vacation, so I'm trying to arrange things to see the SJs in Cleveland and spend a little time in Wooster. And that maple frosting on Buehler's doughnuts was the best, no matter what David might think. Thanks again for your post! Matt-

Brick tudor house on the corner of Cleveland Road. I was a couple of years younger, but I distinctly remember David teaching me how to start a fire using a magnifying glass and the sun. I also remember him saying, "you didn't learn this from me." Because he's been so zipperlipped about Wooster, I didn't realize until a couple of years ago that the Silver Jews had a Wooster connection. Even then, it was mere speculation among the many Silver Jews fans from Wooster (many of whom live in San Francisco and Seattle now). I'm so glad to hear David acknowledge the Woo, because I too hear it's influence in his music and lyrics. I recently moved back to Ohio (Cleveland) and just bought tickets for the Cleveland show. Can't wait. Also, I too associate maple flavor with Wooster, but mostly in Buehler's doughnuts with maple icing. I grew up down the street from David.
