My good friend, John Sanborn died the day before yesterday from complications of lung cancer. He was a smoker. He was also a hell of a good guy, and a very good bluegrass musician.His sense of humor was drier than a baptist picnic. He wrote a song, a parody on Tonight the bottle let me down, that involved his wife and me. She is a loyal fan of mine.
I'm gonna miss him at the festivals. Damn the grim reaper, I'm running out of friends.

Sorry to hear about this, Captain. I just lost a very close friend, and the hole it leaves is almost unbearable. My condolences.

I too am accumulating loved ones on the other side. Sometimes I forget that on occasion one is granted a peek through the curtain and despair of ever seeing them again. But that peek, even if infrequent, is real and I must remind myself of that.

A bit of military talk is appropriate here,

"It's a drill that no one is excused from."

Sorry Kendall. As to losing friends, for everyone you lose, five more are waiting in the wings.

I've often thought that there's no such thing as a mid-life crisis. It's just that time of life that you lose your parents, friends, some old, some young to accidents and the dreaded diseases.
I was once told when the Aids scare started, talking about percentages, "Life is a sexually transmitted disease with 100% fatalities", that just about sums it up for me.

I too will miss John. I liked him well enough to actually welcome his negative remarks about my bring the accordion to a bluegrass festival.

If this Guest is Jets, I told them I asked you to play. There is more to the world than bluegrass.
