distressing news!

From YoungBlood, an email with some news that made my heart stop beating and time freeze whilst the rain poured down and lightning struck the barren earth:

nat mcintosh, our sousaphonist, is taking a leave of absence from the band to work on other projects, and consequently we're looking for someone interested in playing with us.

No one can replace Nat! What's YBBB without Nat? NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
