In mourning...

My lifelong friend, brother, and bandmate Bobby Neal died suddenly yesterday after a brief illness. He was 55.

He took ill after rehearsing with us on Sunday. By Tuesday he was unresponsive. He was in ICU until Saturday, when it was apparent that the physicians' efforts were not reversing his condition. I was with him and his wife Saturday morning when she made the difficult decision to stop treatment and put him on comfort measures only, and later that afternoon when he peacefully left us, surrounded by family and friends.

Treasure your friends, especially those you get to share this gift of music with.

Sorry for your loss, I lost a fellow musician, brother, friend, a guy I looked up to a year ago, we played in-bands together off and on, mostly on for over 30 years, cancer took him, brought it back from Vietnam, he was a phenomenal guitar player, maybe him and your drummer buddy are up there playing music together...

My heart goes out to you and your family.

I'm now in my early 70s, and have lost several really good musician friends in the past two years.....so I understand.

I hope your fond memories of Bobby will bring you smiles and comfort in the days ahead.

Keep your chin up. Each day gets a little easier.
