Flying Burritos fans will be sad to hear that Sneaky Pete Kleinow, Burritos steel guitarist extraordinaire and inventor of the characters "Gumby and Pokey", was signed into a hospital several days ago for very advanced Alzheimer's Disease. His daughter has written a very touching poem that I include here.

It can't be over
Are you kidding
Those vibes that flood
Then emanate
Within, through, out, out...out

I can see his music
I can taste it
It's on my skin
I smell it...it heals me

I need to find the devil
I've got to have something he wants
To keep that sweet music alive
