Last night may have been the most exhilarating and uplifting experience of my entire life. I’m talking about Zack Cleary, Clay Elliot, and Nate Fitzpatrick’s impromptu jam session. It was so much more than that to me and the others in attendance, however. They played three songs with the extremely talented Nate improvising the lyrics. Clay, amazing as he is, was very concentrated and made the most fascinating face as he played. Zack was just plain cool with his rockin’ bass solo. The first song was about Nate’s adventures in Ireland. It brought simultaneous tears of joy and sorrow to all. His poignant lyrics softened even the hardest of hearts. Next, he sang the most educational song about dorm life and how it relates to Satori. In his words, “It’s better because they drink more than soda and iced tea.” The third and final song was about Lily Crytser’s hot pink socks. The song was about love and dedication to the Mariners and to each other. Nate sang with sweet clarity. His tone and pitch were pure and perfect. When he hit the high C in the second song, my spirit was lifted to heaven. I was not the only one who felt this way, however. According to Sam Hanks, there was a group of first year boys standing just outside the door in complete awe. In conclusion, Nate’s amazing voice changed my life, but his backup musicians were simply mediocre. Good thing they have so many adoring fans.
