My Brother Steve, ten years seems like a million without the company of the 9k legend. I miss you every day and every time I play guitar, I smile thinking about the many times we would go out and play at friend's house parties and other adventures only Steve would be up for. Always a great time with the 9k. I Love and miss you my brother till we meet again -and when we do... Its jam on time !
