Thinking of you this morning Art. Godspeed.

Me, too.

"Oh, Thank You Great Spirit"
Chicago

Pulling myself out of a dead sleep
With the impression of the dream still fresh in my mind
Before I'm even awake, the words, the music were complete

I woke up that mornin'
Feelin' so rested and young
My mind was clear of all the problems
That been hasslin' my head

I couldn't quite understand why
I felt so fine
I felt so free
So beyond it all

As I turned towards the bed
I understood as all came clear
As I turned towards the bed
I understood as all came clear

I saw myself lyin' there
Didn't have a care
Peace of mind was finally mine
Now free to fly
Into the blue sky

Oh great spirit
Fly away
Oh great spirit
Just fly
Fly
Oh fly away

I hope you heard me playing you out.
Sleep well.

My wife and I played a medley for you. Life Is Like A Mountain Railway, and I'll Fly Away. I hope you enjoyed it Art.
Farewell.

 

[Stumbo]

You are free of your earthly concerns. Rest in love and peace.

I have to say this is the heaviest thread I have ever seen on TB. That said, RIP Art and may where you are now be full of joy.

This thread kind of knocked me for a loop. It’s been weighing* on my mind since it began.

Yeah, I couldn't help but watch the clock count down to the appointed hour today.

I got out the ABG I played at my friend's funeral, and did some noodling around on it (nothing fancy, I'm not a soloist by any stretch). May the low vibes make it ~out there~ somehow.

I hope Art found the peace he needed.

Me too, on all counts you mention. Clock watching, plugged up and sent some Deep Vibes. Wishes for Peace.

Geezzzsss, dude! What do you mean that you are dying? You are scaring me! Do you need to call a S****de Hot Line?

Better talk to someone. Family, friends, Doctor!
