So much to say...
Junk (aka very sweet basses) to ogle, bacon bourbon to crave, and group grope to partake in. All of you, consider yourselves thoroughly groped.
On a more serious note, I was surprised to read of how many folks on here have lost one or both of their parents. My heart goes out to you, I can't even imagine losing mine. It's so easy to assume they will always be there. Your posts did remind me to cherish the time I have with them and not take that for granted, so thank you for that.
You've heard me say it before, but let me say again that one of the things I love about this thread (aside from the twisted humor) is how openly we can share things with each other we wouldn't ordinarily feel safe/ comfortable sharing, especially in an internet forum.
I know that grief is a tricky beast - it sits dormant for awhile and then comes out to grab hold of you out of nowhere. As I read these posts, I hear many of you say that you are holding on to the reminders of the special people in your life that you have lost and remembering how much they meant to you, and honoring them in the things you save of theirs, the things you do, and especially in the persons you have become. It's the best any of us can do. I hope I can do the same when/if I am faced with that kind of loss.
I offer this, not so much as solace as in homage (if that makes any sense):
Richie Haven - Still Looking For A Way To Say Goodbye - YouTube
On a completely different topic, FM, weren't you supposed to post some audio files?
And Thor, I liked the video of the jam session - those are the best, when you're just playing around/ loosening up, and somehow it all comes together.
