For all the times we hung out it never occurred to me get a photo. This is the only one I have… there happened to an actual photographer in the room. No …I was so in the moment. But then again who am I fooling… it was mostly back in the 1900’s when we were always present and in the moment as we had no iPhones to distract us. So it was more about fully experiencing each other than worrying about proving we experienced it.

As much as we all live that way now… guilty. I am thankful for the times where we just hung, talked and shared stories and just carried them in our Heart Drives and Brain’s memory… see what I did there?

I guess I am saying. You left us more than enough to survive on. But on earth, down here, it just feels a little bit lonlinier and a bit sad , knowing you’re not at 5150 chilling with your guitar and a cigarette smoking away on the headstock.

Happy Birthday to the King.
