Topic: G B Blues Band loses guitarist

It is  with  much  sadness that  I  write   about  the  loss of  my  good  friend  and  long time band  mate   Brian Viall .Brian lost  the  fight  against  cancer this morning  .
Brian  and  I  founded   GB blues band  around 14 years  ago  when we  met  in Crete.  Brian always  provided  the  pumping  rhythms  for GBs   music  ,though often in the  back  ground  while  i fronted  the  band  it  was Brian  who  kept the  band   grounded  in the  blues .
Today  I  have  lost  a great  friend and musical  soul mate .
Rock  on   Brian  .

Sincere and deep sympathies to you, Graham. While a very few of us can understand your sadness, we all trust that the memories of 14 years making music together will cause you to smile through the grief. Steady as she goes, eh?

Re: G B Blues Band loses guitarist

Graham,   sorry to hear about the loss of your friend.     

Live in the "now" - a contentment of the moment - the past is gone - the future doesn't exist - all we ever really have is now and it's always "now".
