Sadly...we have lost a dear friend this week, to an auto
accident, whose funeral was today. Elsie...
It smacked my spirit hard how suddenly the laughter,
the joy we know becomes a thing we speak of in past
tense. Together most recently celebrating an evening
of Robert Burns.
I am most fortunate as is my wife to have friends that
come together...artists, historians, teachers...and many
backgrounds perhaps 2-3 times per month to share
dinner, break bread as they say. We will continue to
come together, but one seat will now be empty.
We know that one day we shall all meet again, but I
awoke this morning with an urgency to pen words, grab
my guitar and write a tribute...a benediction for my
friends. Who can say what fates lie ahead(?), and... we
walk this earth lightly. Sojourners passing thru.
So...to Tim and Connie, Vince and Siegrun, Pat and Liz,
Wayne...Donny...my friends Steve ad Mary, Bob...Mike and
Bill, my past band mates still on my heart and mind- Brian,
Carl, Randy...TC...Ron...gee...on and on and on...my good
friend Ted, Joe P...ssheesh...so many, too many to name
them all...well...Couldn't figure out how to embed this
song directly into my blog post here...so, follow this
link...this song dedicated to Elsie...and all my friends.
Hugs and tears out to Wayne especially at this time.
