Jason is Lisa Gutierrez's cousin. In March 1987, when he was fourteen, a long box arrived by parcel post at his parents' house in Overland Park. Inside was the guitar, the case and a note in his cousin's handwriting. The note said: your turn.
He did not know what it meant. He had the band formed by June.
He sang quietly and played loudly, and preferred it that way around. He was the first member on file to write a song about the case itself.
Now. Insurance adjuster in Lenexa. Keeps the note in his wallet.
