Leo, I am so sorry to hear that you've lost another special friend. You seem the kind that places value on friendships; and, that makes it even harder. You have my deepest sympathy. Donna

| Thanks you Donna! I have the same respect for you even tho I may not know you well but from here.I'd love to visit with you some day for a day in person.I would come out of my way to do that on a yes as I will Charlie as soon as I can get out of California again. The Music Business world is a breed that is hard for many to understand. We are family Union or non-union. when you are a true Musician/Artist & you get blessed like I have been to be associated with so many great people who are just that. No matter how big are little they are,they are dear to me. My back round in this Music business is bigger than my name.I'm for sure having a hard time in my mind these days.But,as I say God He Ain't Cheap and he'll give you what you need,but,only on his time. My prayers are for all who I love and all that I don't like. God know why & who they are and that's all that matters. RIP Al Bruno,Boomer Castleman,Lynn Anderson,Kenny Serrat & Big Mike with Michael Jackson and all my friends in Heaven's Music World. Thanks you once again Donna Dodd. |

I hear ya, Leo, and I'm still here, altho my mind is drifting down to the Hill Country where a best friend's wife has just died.
It seems like there's a lot of that these days, and you sure have my sympathy, there's plenty to go around.
Meanwhile, I commend you for hanging in with a tough business; you must be dedicated. To hear you speak well of all speaks well of you.
No matter where I go, I'll make sure you know which part of the state I'm in, and the good lord willin' and the creeks don't rise
(and they're not these days, it's so dry here and where you are) we'll get together sometime. Tell me again where you're going in Texas. |
