Just think in 1 sec.. life is altered..hIt & run drunk driver..took my wife & best friend at 18 on graduation Night June 6, 1983. Sometimes i wonder why i am here..

wrote PAIN for J & So sad for Darryl.
Seems like i am war all the time, work is nutz with all the illegals & defund crap.. if i dint have faith..would of just packed it in. Getting in a band that is gonna tour is helping but i am lost... will admit it... 2018 we were booked out with gigs & hitting on all cylinder with J singing..it was rock..pop..metal & it worked...1 crash..gone...most important is a fun vibrant girl is brain damaged beyond repair & it sucks..........

here J is in studio just before the collapse.. a few days later..a heard a crash & she just fell out & hit the bathroom floor.. it finally got her... she went into the studio like a trooper knowing her days to sing were limited.. here is her last day in studio ever being able to sing... she wanted to make the music... it was so hard knowing she had 30 min time span.. she was so good.. .. the studio loved her coming in....then 2 days down right after...ahh man..not sure why i am thinking this but maybe i never really dealt with a family being destroyed ..

yeah man, appreciate the concern. Just time to deal & let go & understand i dont have to understand maybe... Actually paying tribute to her appreciated talent.. we talk still,,just not much coherent there.. she has her last will & testament all set up few weeks ago she let me know...prayers always..it really hit me actually in a dif way.. who cares what happened & how it went down..she is a alright by me...

First song she ever did in studio..she never sang ever,,my buddy who owns the studio did a few albums for me, he asked can she sing.. i said..lets just hit record

we had just got married & never knew we would be a band.. Iwoke up at 3 am one night & went & recorded the riff. next morning she said what were you doing at 3 am. i said, i got this idea,,and the word WHY was on a paper,, we sat down & decided the music was the focus & let the vocals soar over the top..the studio session was awesome..they got fully behind us & we captured the emotion

100% badass singing..her first song she wrote with me ..she even pulled off the accidental not evening knowing it, when i pull out of key for a split second..it is what makes this song..that note that dont belong there causing a brief tension..then i release it.. simple but effective

Got hooked up with the devil so i got my dope for free
Got hooked up on that junk & turned to that ol crack pipe

That devil told me.. that there is nothing better than getting your dope ..for freeeeeeeeeeeee

Never forgot what i needed..when i started on the harder stuff
Tools..water..fire ..spoon cotton..fish scale..pink champagne.. black tar..speed balls

Goin on binges months at a time....i pull up my sleeves & what do i see
track marks up & down my arms..track marks marks up & down my arms

getting high..everyday..... running out of places on my arms to play
should i try ...somewhere new...all i see is black n blue

i used my tools & i hit everywhere ..i could find..............
and the devil found me a spot ............every time....

shallow breathing & lips turning blue
only one who saved me was God ..who came through

every time i roll up my sleeves..are the track marks...to remind me..

She had words or a poem for the funeral & she always wanted to make it to a song. For longest time didn't think i could do it but got a Fender bandmaster head & something in Em came out & it clicked real fast. Took me a sec to come up with something but just free jaming was the way to go then come back with leads & bass,. Actually strummed the rythym while she sang to a drums that were done.
