I think the reason that its so tricky is that basically you are doing everything 'right' and you just need to keep on keeping on.
Some thoughts that might spark his curiosity could be you getting an amazing music job, or creating your own CD / band. Or you heading overseas on a big trip (come and visit me!). But those things are things that you need to do for yourself anyway not because they might possibly generate interest. I'm trying to think of things that would be significant enough that other people would start talking about 'hey did you hear that T is going to be playing for the Queen in November'? or 'hey did you hear that T is going to attempt to swim to Australia in December?'
Is there anything you want to achieve and dreams or goals that you have, that you have possibly put on hold because you are waiting to see what happens with B? I know its unlikely cause you are doing so many cool things.
The long distance thing is hard hey?
You know I kind of like that you might just pick up the phone and call him to say hi. Comfortable conversation just to see how he is.
