Ok, while I have been over-joyed to think of a possible reunion with past friends (Bill Ervin and Shake Russell)... ok, so
it has been 30 years... I started looking for other musician friends.... Mike Cancellarie, Gordy Hedley, David Ruthstrom, and Steve Fromholz... I got a BIG ASS JOLT!!
I lived in Elgin for a short time (read the chapter on "living with MOM" when the unpublishable book comes out)... there was an art gallery uptown near the post office I worked at as a window clerk. The gallery booked an Austin local to come
sing at an intimate gathering... his name was Steve Fromholz.
I have a history with Fromholz... suffice it to say, he is (was) one of the finest musicians I ever wrote a paycheck to...
I didn't go. I thought I would not be as "appealing" to him as I was in the '80s... and I was probably right.
Much to my dismay, he had a stroke shortly thereafter, and I am heart broken... I didn't get to hug him, or his dog.
You were born to blog! I honestly thought I already 'FOLLOWED YOU'....guess i didn't, but you blog so well....i didn't know a lot about you ...that was great to know !! Prince...who knew.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying my best to be there for all...I know it is not enough sometimes....but I try
Love u.......xoxox
