Dear Perry, it’s been quite a while since we’ve talked so I figured it’s time to catch you up. Of course, you know Norm has passed, just leaves me here now. Doing my best brother.
Hey, guess what, Barb and I bought a really cool coffee shop called Hava Java and moved to Arizona. You know we had been wanting to be out here for a long time, and we finally made it happen.
But that’s not the best part, we have live music every Friday night and Sunday afternoon!
You remember when we were teenagers how we would always get that new album and could not wait to exchange with each other that song that was just the greatest, well in our minds anyway (oh, I should tell ya, that music doesn’t even come on CDs anymore). We sure did love our music didn’t we. Through all the good and bad times, we always had that music bond. Our older brother didn’t get it, but music was in our souls.
Well now at the coffee shop we have a different band every Friday night from 6 to 9 p.m., and brother you would love them. Also, every Sunday from 6 to 8 p.m., I have Scott Worstell the guitar player for Notes of Neptune. I know how much you loved the guitar and I’m telling you he is one of the best and most unique I’ve seen in a long while. He is the perfect fit for the vibe we have.
One more thing brother, you remember when you gave me that batch of old vinyl albums, and in one of your The Who albums was a poster. I framed it and gave it back to you. You thought it was so cool it went up in your living room for many years. Well, it hangs in the coffee shop now, in our music corner. You have a front row seat for every event.
Sure do miss ya brother. Well, tell everyone up there in heaven Barb and I said hi.
