Nowhere to go


I just learned of another musical kindred who passed away. Walt Redmond was a fixture in the Hampton Roads music scene. I can't help but feel angry and sad. It wells a feeling that I cannot abide. The one where you are absolutely powerless. There's nowhere to go, no amount of honest effort that can change this situation. I had to call a friend and share the sad news, she knew him as well. I can't help but feel like I said all the wrong things...but I know there's no way to say those things the right way. You do your best. I am swept away to the time when I lost my friend Chris. Deep breath. Take some time. It is a part of life and I won't deny it. I will miss seeing him play his songs and I wish his family and friends comfort.
