For Dave
"Good to see you Jim I only wish it was for a different reason. You have painted a nice picture of our friend here. Simple Sweet and cup of coffee in the garden. Really gonna miss him he was Specials."
For Dave
"Lovely tribute Jim. Dave was inspirational to me and shined with his artistic light. Prayers that he is surrounded by love and joy in Heaven and reunited with his daughter Ivy."

"Dammit, now I'm wiping away tears as the song ends."
For Dave
Our friend Dave was an artist, a potter, a musician and a maker of cigar box guitars. He was a story teller par excellence and a kind, gentle soul. I'm toast...
"Sending up prayers for Dave. He is a wonderfully talented person with a kind and generous soul. "
"I just sent you an mp3 of my Christmas Dram song. Hope it made the deadline! Thank you for doing this album once again Steven!"

A while back a fellow came into my shop in WV while visiting his parents who live nearby. He purchased a Gourd Banjo and CB Fiddle, my two highest priced items, saying he was a musician and composer from California. I got nosy and looked him up. This is him!!

Lost two friends today within 24 hours. One was a well known rockabilly guitarist and bass player for Danny Gatton and the Fat Boys. Billy Hancock used to come to my gigs and be real supportive of what I was playing.
The second friend was less well known but we played gigs together since we were teenagers. Here's to you Chuck B

I thought so too but, when I tried to send you a message you didn't appear in the list. Anyway, I know you are a busy fella but let me know if you are interested in the Fade to Black tune. AP says you are the perfect guy and he has plans for a video as well. I don't have any time table on it, just at your leisure if you are interested.

Well Jim,
Based on the number of variables involved I think I will forward your pricing info. I may try to do a fiddle build but would have to fine tune my skills before a sellable one is complete. My customer is looking for Christmas. What is your lead time and what info would you need?
Thanks,
Jeff
