Metaphorical Soap
The first time I ever exchanged words with Spencer Bell was, very appropriately, on a backlit stage in High School. I had seen him awkwardly and lazily slouch through the halls with hair covered eyes
and dark aviators, but it would weeks after his arrival at Lahser until we would be properly introduced. I should [...]

Not more than five or six weeks after Spencer’s passing Cathy and I made a point to meet with the folks at the University of Michigan’s Adrenal Cancer Program to see what we might do to continue his musical legacy and to see how his talents in life might help others after his life on [...]

From Shawn Fernando
How does one even begin to approach a life so committed to originality? A life both heroic and frail, courageous and craven, human and immortal.
There is no way, to replicate in mere words the impact of having met Spencer, having lived with him, dined with him, drank with him, sought with him and [...]

Hey Everyone,
it is Bill’s Storytime!
From Bill Bell :
When Spencer passed away, he left his musical instruments to Ben Johnson. I mention this because he left his original six-string guitar to Brady – to keep safe and to keep it in our family.
That guitar was given to Spencer by me (I received it from a friend [...]

Bill Bell’s note:
Spencer’s Aunt Dawn – my younger sister – (who’s own contribution will be posted later) has a great life partner in Cathy LaPlante.
Spencer and Cathy were fortunate to meet during the summer of 2006 when Spencer, Brady, Deb and I went to visit Dawn and Cath up in Monte Rio (near the Wine [...]

Note from Bill Bell
The birth of Sheer Funk and Misery was both fascinating and utterly amazing to watch. As Spencer’s Dad I thought it was ‘cute’ that he was in a band. I was happy that he’d found others to play music with and (probably even happier) that he wasn’t apt to quit school or [...]

BILL’S NOTE:
After Spencer was “invited” not to return to Interlochen for the second semester of his sophomore year, he enrolled in Lahser High School and was reunited with many old friends.
