Life has dealt my family a huge blow in the past 2 years, even more so in the past 2 weeks. Luckily I have a great, close-knit group of friends and family to keep me distracted. Robins has been supportive and our son Gabe has been a light through the darkness. My good pal Eric and I went to see Deer Tick and the Felice Brothers a week ago and all you need to know is they closed with ‘lalabamba’. It was amazing. I wouldn’t be able to go through all of this without music, that’s a fact. Check it. What a downer blog, but that’s my life as of this week.
