I to was searching for you Jeff. Hoping to catch up on where you are at and what you were up to.
I loved jamming with you in the basement back in the seventies. I think of you every time I play my Dobro. My dear friend, and great drummer, Craig Hermansen passed away a couple of months ago. Maybe you guys can hook up and keep it going. I’ll be along eventually.
You were a beautiful person here on Earth, so I know you made it to heaven.
Take care and God Bless.
Bryan

I can’t believe it has been so long since we said adios. Your brothers words, at the memorial still ring true in my heart and thoughts. I miss you. I’m still mad at the way you left but have added Taj Majal and Leon Redbone to my repertoire. I think of you often with an odd combination of love and anger. RIP
