Sorry to hear about your singer,having to cope with grief is hard obstacle to overcome,lost my dear mother a few years ago.I not trying get mushy here,but I have no friends either,no one to really talk as well.
Hi, Lotus!!
Thanks! He was only 59 or 60. From what I know he was 28 the summer I met him in 1980, his b-day is nearly 2 weeks after mine. So that'd make him 59 when he died. Stomach cancer from agent orange!! Thanks LOADS, Monsanto!!!! But, although his death was reported in a number of newspapers, each one had him at a different age! Some even said he was 62!!
Anyway, I've been losing family, friends and dog left & right since the late `90's!! Maybe as much as 20!! That's NOT including Capt. Beefheart, although, we were all such huge fans of his, it WAS like losing another member of the family!!
Sorry to hear about YOU not having any friends, either! I KNOW how badly that sucks!! The Moody Blues have a song called, "Watching And Waiting". That first line is my life in a handbasket!!
Watching and waiting
for a friend to play with
I hope it won't be
very long.
Sadly, I'm STILL watching and waiting!
All those Casper cartoons are my life story, too. Like me, as soon as he finally makes a friend, they get taken away from him! I met someone on FB a few months ago and we were having a BLAST sharing music with each other for at least a week, then I was joking around with by putting myself down in a funny way and she immediately got freaked out and barred me from ever talking to her again!!
I HAVE friends...online!! But none live close enough or have the time to actually spend ANY time with me! I hardly ever hear from any of them, too.
Goodness!! Are those violins I hear playing?

Sounds like lite beer, to me! Or could it have been what they called, near beer?

Cool!! Do you still play at all? To this day, I have NO idea what a flam is!! I KNOW what a paradiddle is! I'm pretty sure I know what a rattamaque is, too.

I have 29, maybe 30 crates of albums, that's about 150 per crate, many thousands of 45's and at LEAST 1000 78's.

Well, THANK you!! I'd be proud to call you a friend, too!!

Really? What's happened to you?
So far, I've seen UFO's (Once last week, and entire fleet of them! And again about summer 1998 around 1:00 a.m..) And, the day dad died 6 & a half years ago, I was cooking hamburgers and I was all alone in the kitchen, everyone else had gone to bed. All of a sudden I could SWEAR I heard dad yelling twice way off in the distance, "Get me the hell out of here!!" But it sounded like he was trying to be funny. At that same time, I'd just watched the first of the "White Noise" movies where they claim if you have a white noise source, you can actually hear and record voices in a room your in! The sizzling of the hamburgers frying was the white noise that night!!
