Sorefingers...he sure the heck was!

I was lucky enough to guest on Acoustic Workshop with Heather this week, and she told us that from the moment I expressed an interest in his old guitar, he was interviewing me, like a job interview, to see if I would be a suitable candidate for owning it. That's why he gave me such great terms on it when we got down to talking business...this is one of the greatest musical compliments I've ever had.

I miss Rick. Guess we all do. I drive past his & Heather's house every Friday on my delivery run to Toronto, never without a glance and a thought for each of them--a wistful one for Rick, and a hopeful one for Heather.

I hardly ever stop in though. I'm driving a twenty-foot-long van that I don't own, and that Kingston Road driveway terrifies me.
