Knowing that she might help others was a great peace for the family. I'm so sorry your father did not make it through the surgery  |

|  | (aka Greg Harman) | | Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Dunbar, West Virginia | | | Visited and played music with an old friend today. We shared a band back in the 70's called "Willow Run"; drums (me), two lead guitars, bass and keys, four guys and a gal; five lead singers, great harmonies - did stuff like "Its Nature's Way" by Spirit, Lee Michaels, Traffic, Crosby Stills & Nash. Anyway, today we played James Taylor (Carolina On My Mind and Country Road - great Lee Sklar bass lines); Lowell George (Willin'), The Band (The Weight and The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down); NRPS (Friend of the Devil); Kathy Mattea (Coal Tattoo); Garcia & Hunter (Deal); Townes Van Zant (Pancho & Lefty); Merle Haggard (Mama Tried); The Byrds (Feel a Whole Lot Better); Elton John (County Comfort). Sounds like we have enough for a set...thinking about doing an "impromptu" sit in while some friends take a break in their gig at a local venue. Anyway, enjoyed the hell out of today and frankly I needed the therapy...

Love Feel a Whole Lot Better and Townes Van Zant generally.

| | Hell on heels | | Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: Near Orlando FL | | | etoncrow, BSB, JaamE, Thor, BassGen, FM, MB, and Mike - for everyone going through something of their own right now, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Thank you all for being with me, as well. Your friendship and support mean a lot. I know this sounds morose, but I feel like I'm going back home to say goodbye this time. Although I wasn't originally planning it, I'm taking a bass and an amp on this trip with me. I think I'm going to need the therapy.

So, I took the Markbass head and my 210 to practice today. Awesome tone, just not enough volume. Turning the volume up resulted in the speakers farting out. Time to get another 210. |

The leukemia is out of remission. I won't know until Wednesday just how serious. I'm leaving after work tomorrow to make the drive back home. My sister is coming in next week while I'm still up there. I can't change it so I have to deal with it. I can do this. Quote:

Also...January Florida visitors...I need your dates ASAP. I have some work travel bubbling for January and I don't want to miss you.

I do know how your dreams work Tat. I've been thinking about you and your dad a lot. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
