Lovely, MMario.

Mick, you're a selfish bastard. I acquired Heather's cold. Two month and two colds for me. I can only wonder if that was something I also shared with you.

The concert was full of music, but also quite a few stories. Other folks mentioned that, and they also said how appropriate it was.

I asked Grit if I could have his guitar, and he said 'no'. He also indicated he didn't mind my asking. I think he recognized it for the compliment I intended.

There WAS a story (by John, I believe) about a guitar. About him playing it and Rick asking 'Do you want to take it with you?' years ago, and that he never returned it.

The overall impression I got from the night and all the stories and songs was that, if Rick ever affected someone's life, he did it big. He did it so big that those people are out making difference in other people's lives... and so it goes.
