Introduction | "I have always felt an odd sort of kinship with Hella Frisch Man, that strong, silent, yet occasionally effervescent superhero," writes Matt Heller in explaining why he named this blog after a German bottled water company mascot. MH is a double bassist with the Calgary Philharmonic. Hella Frisch Man was abandoned as a corporate mascot and is now defunct. |
