Subject: RE: BS: Writers I have to thank, publicly
I post this because Nathan (Amergin) mentioned it. I have just read it again. I sure miss that old man. I hope he and Rick get together, cause Rick will have a ball needling this wonderful old crank. And if Rick has any luck at all, there will be ovens where he is at and Darla will make him cookies ..... LOL. I remember the first time I saw her after her diagnosis. We were both feeling a bit edgy, so I walked up to her and hugged her and said, "listen, sweetie, I know you have some rough times coming, but every so often, could you still make me some cookies?" We both started gigglin' like a couple of kids.
The link will take you to the post, but there is more to the story. If you want to know about Darla's diagnosis, you should read the first post in the thread. I think the thread handles it all. Our first CD was dedicated to Jim and Darla. Also, a wonderful blues harp player, and sometime Mudcatter by the name of Harmonica Buzz, wrote a wonderfu song for Jim and Darla, based on the thread. It is absolutely a wonderful tune, and is on his CD "Long Way To Memphis. Jim and Darla, I am sure, just love it. His website is HERE. And Here is a link to the CD Baby site with reviews of the CD.
