First gig of autumn and the last before turning 60 in two weeks. An appropriate song in that I have not gotten many things I wanted while absolutely being blessed with more than one could need...and for an old man, I can still lay it down with gusto...which is nice.

The house my dad grew up in the 1930s thru '50s was built by his grandfather in 1898. After his mother passed in 1983 the building was sold, never to be lived again as it was plowed under with the rest of the block toward commercial ambition. Only recently was the land put to use. Today 1910 Fullerton is a Chick-Fil-A fast-food joint.

Last Friday he and I made a pilgrimage to walk the sacred grounds. It was odd, beautiful and sad all at once. Last night I made this short and dad asked that I share with ya'll.
Peace, Love and Time The Conqueror,
David

My brother Joel would have been 65 today...Chris and I played this one last Saturday in his memory and for the alley bums that remember those long-gone basement jams.

If ever a song needed to be heard and learned from by people, it is Jackson Browne's FOR EVERY MAN.

Brother Chris turns 62 today. I have had many great songwriting teachers, from Jackson Browne to Harry Chapin, Neil Young to Paul Simon...none more important or influential than the great Stopher Rudner (Stopher and Chris being one and the same). Oh, he also taught me how to throw a pretty decent curve-ball.
