Earl,
I am missing your sharing of your music experiences and insight. I am also missing your input on my non-musical rants, your humor and compassion, my fb friend.
Even though I discovered you had changed worlds, I still find myself looking for any new posts from you. You are in The Creator's Sky World now, and I realize I need only to look towards GrandFather Sky and listen for your songs on the four winds. You will not be forgotten.
ROCK ON Earl in counterpoint & Harmony...
To all of Earl's family and friends, we send our deepest condolences and meditations in the loss of your beloved Earl. May peace be with you all.
