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.<<<

Lonesome EJ - could you PM me if you know how to contact his daughter or what hospital Pete is in? My husband just reminded me that pete worked with his company in the early 90s and everyone there was very distressed when i causally mentioned this recently. They'd like to send something to him and/or his family.
