So roughly one year ago today,my life changed. At my point in life I had assumed that the only significant change that was in front of me had something to do with my prostate. And, while I suspect that this is still in my future, something completely out of the blue occurred to me a year ago which has probably changed me forever as well as the lives of those closest to me: I became friends with Terry Anderson.
I won't go into the complete story here, but if anyone is interested, go to Terry's blog at www.whassupta.blogspot.com and look at the archives of December 21,2006. While you're at it, look at his entry after his Christmas gig last year-it's particularly jarring due to the events of this past month(i.e.,Dave Enloe's passing).
So here I am, on the eve of actually releasing my own record on Terry's label("Trailer Park Angel", hopefully to be released on Doublenaught Records in March), and opening for him at his big annual Christmas/Birthday Party at the Pour House( get there early! I go on at 8pm)in Raleigh-on of all occassions, the rock and roll MEMORIAL for Dave Enloe(who,the more I learn about him, the more clear it seems to me that we may have been kindred spirits who might also have become close friends).
Thank you Terry and thank you Jack Cornell. I was walking this planet for alot of years missing the brothers I did not know I had. And now my life is richer and more exciting than I ever previously had thought possible.
Hope this gives you all reason enough to consider the following life style choice: optimism.
Merry Christmas,happy holidays.
