Topic: X-Mas blur

Well the holidays are finally over. We were all at home and things were very festive till X-mas day when we got bad news of my brother in law who took a massive heart attack and
didn't make it thru. The festive X-mas seemed to fade very quickly. We were all shocked at this
and the day before we were all together and had a few beers and played guitars and everything seemed fine. He was 58 years old and would do anything to help people who needed it. He leaves a wife and two sons and a grand daughter and two grand sons. He was a very good friend of mine going back some 30 years and will be missed by a lot of people.

   Rest In Peace my friend..    Badeye..

My heart goes out to you and the family.  That's how old I am.  You just never know.  Any time is a bad time, but especially during the holidays.  Good luck, bud.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Sorry to hear 'bout your loss. Maybe you could get your buddies' kids and/or grandkids involved in the Crash Helmut Jug Band and your world famous kitchen jams. He'll live on through the music you guys' used to play together.

Peace and Guitars,

That's terrible news.  I'm so sorry for you to hear it.  I don't know what else to do, so I'll say a prayer for his soul's peace and for the worst pain of your grief to be brief.

Re: X-Mas blur

Thanks for the support guy's. Please take care of yourselves, life's too short. I remember when I was a young lad he always had a guitar in hand and showed the F chord,I wasn't really into guitar then, many years later when I started guitrar that F chord came really easy so that memory will stick for a long time.

  Thanks guy's......   Badeye.
