Losing a Friend and Bandmate

A 40 year old friend and bandmate of mine has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. Dan was the soul of our little group, a man of many hats and has been a dear friend since high school. Words can't say how sorely he will be missed. Many things will never be the same. He's pictured in the middle, along with my other playing partner, myself and Steve Earle.

Remember the good times, man, and share as many as you can in whatever amount of time you have left.

Thanks for the kind words. He'll be with us a year most likely, maybe longer. The best part, he is taking it real well.
