Favorite quote from Ron, when talking about questionable musicians:

"I remember my first band."

Sorry Bob for the loss, friends are getting fewer and fewer.
I hope you find some comfort in the fact that he is in a far better place and looking down wondering why you played that note.
RIP

Very Sorry to hear of your friend and picking buddy passing on. I know how empty you can feel, I lost my long time friend and picking buddy in mid Feb. of this year and I still miss him coming around. It just takes time they say but I don't have much time left either. Good luck and may God Bless You and his Family. J.R.
