Telesma

Dan Rodricks, well-known Baltimore journalist, who covered Ian after his first cardiac arrest in 2012, has penned a beautiful piece about Ian on Baltimore Fishbowl's home page. Link in comments.

We want to extend an EXTRA SPECIAL THANKS to Jessica Snow, who has been Jason Sage's guardian angel, bringing delicious vegan food, driving caregivers and now staying with Jason. We are so grateful!

Happy Thanksgiving, Telesma family! ♥️ Jason continues to heal and for that we are so grateful. We are so thankful to those of you who have visited, brought meals, donated tohis gofundme and sent messages for him. He can still use help, as he can’t use his right arm/hand and is in quite a bit of pain. Message us if you want to stop by or bring food. We love you!!

The end of an era, for sure, with the closing of Ram's Head Live! in Baltimore. It's the venue Telesma was playing when Ian Hesford collapsed and died onstage (and revived 93 minutes later) and when we went back for our "Resurrection" show to celebrate his life—and our "Action in Inaction" album. It was one of our favorite venues to play.

It was kind of Al Shipley, formerly of the City Paper, now writing for the Baltimore Banner, to mention Telesma. I don't think we are exactly Progressive Rock, as it says in the article, but to be fair, no one really knew how to categorize us. At the beginning, in 2004, we billed ourselves as Neo-Classical Post-Industrial Psychedelic Primordial Space Fusion!
