This is not drum related, but my dear friend John passed away last June and I just found out about it after checking facebook. I've known John since childhood, we grew up in Houston and when I moved to San Antonio in the 80's, I would go to Houston to see my parents and John and I would hang out drinking bourbon & coke and singing Beatle songs with John on guitar. I lost touch with him in the late 90's and then made contact through facebook a few years ago. I hadn't heard from him in awhile so I checked his page only to find out he had passed away, he was only 55, two years younger than me. I miss and love you John, take care my friend, I know God will.

Here we are in the mid 80's clowning around.
