Derf, I have been reflecting this past week and have realized how long we had been friends. You were the first person that I struck up a friendship with when my band moved down here from New York back in 1975! my fondest memory is a doing a quest appearance singing rosalita with the great Energized band behind me at the Playpen one summer. We shared many memories as fellow musicians. I will miss your friendship dearly. Fred
