Here let me set down a tale of Paul Lawrence. Somewhere in the southwestern United States, in a region unclear on the maps of its generations, there is said to exist a town named Chuchen. Those who suppose, suppose it only fancy -- fluttering and sweeping with the sands in the desert wind. But those who know, those who have been there, place it in New Mexico, south of Gallup and north of Lordsburg, somewhere along the continental divide.

Paul Lawrence was born there in Chuchen, in the Nineteen Hundreds, in the spring of the year.

The legend of Paul Lawrence’s advent is most strange. According to the stories he is part Zuni, part Martian, and part Delta blues player and had come from the Great Spirit, Mars, or some place in Mississippi, thousands of years ago. (There are some who call him simply, “Irish”.)

The first sighting of Paul Lawrence was thousands of years ago, before the Anasazi, before any record of any people in the Zuni territory, in an Himalayan cave near Srinagar, India.

He has since wandered and settled, settled and wandered again many times before finding his current place among the race of men.

He can be found playing electric bass for Fikus as well as the Babson College Jazz Ensemble. He can also be found in the pit orchestras for such productions as: The Wiz, Damn Yankees, Grease, Hello Dolly, Peter Pan, Little Shop of Horrors, My Fair Lady, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Once Upon a Mattress & Chicago.
