Topic: Bad Times..............
My older brother Danny passed away Sunday night .
Him and I were never as close as my younger brother and I are . I suppose because we're both musicians . Danny always wanted to learn so we would try to teach him stuff from time to time but then he would just go off on a new quest . He retired from the navy at the tender age of thirty seven after twenty years in naval inteligence , and I could never understand why after that , he never really seemed to want to do much of anything . Now I think that the eight plus years he spent on South East Asian soil had a lot to do with it ...........
Even though he was never a musician , sometimes when the three of us did things together , my younger brother and I would refer to him as the leader of the band.
The funeral is wednesday and it's gonna be tough on my younger brother . They lived about half a mile apart and were together a lot .
None of my five sisters were really close to him either, but one of the songs picked for the funeral is Elton John's " Daniel " . Getting through that is gonna be hard on all of us...............
