This day is my JFK day. I will always remember where I was on this day. I was numb the rest of the day and didn't do anything but sit in side my little apt. in Northport,Al and paly his music.

Can't even imagine. I wasn't even 1 when he died, but the man is one of the reasons I play guitar, and certainly one of the main reasons I play the blues. He is one of my heroes for sure.

Speaker of one of my favorite quotes ever:

quote:
You know, right now, the most important thing in my life is to make sure you understand that, first of all, I thank God I’m alive today, and I mean that. You see, I spent too many years of my life thinking that the big party was the whole thing. It took me quite a while to find out that the real deal is to be able to be enough of a person on your own to know when somebody loves and cares about you. You see, we are here, as far as I can tell, to help each other — our brothers, our sisters, our friends, our enemies. That’s to help each other, not hurt each other. Sometimes, to help them, we've got to help ourselves, so that we’ll know that they’re around in the first place. You see, it’s a big world out there with enough pain and misery in it, without me going around and helping it out by hurting myself, and consequently, those that care about me. What I’m trying to get across to you is: Please take care of yourself and those that you love, because that’s what we are here for, that’s all we’ve got, and that is what we can take with us.

RIP SRV
