I have tried to sit down and write this many times but I lack the ability to condense all I would like to say into a few simple sentences. There are so many stories and memories I would like to share with you all that would allow me to convey what a great and unique person my father was. Though we are all special in our own way, my father is unlike any I have ever met and probably ever will. This is what pains me so when I think that my daughter will never know the kind of person her grandfather truly was. The lessons he taught me and the experiences he shared (not to mention the music) will be PROUDLY passed onto her. I don’t claim that my father was perfect, hell, who is? I remember my wife talking to Sonny in the hospital shortly before he passed. He told her that he had always tried to convey to me to never follow in his footsteps. In one sense I understand what he was saying, however, I owe who I am today to the person that he was and to the person he taught me to be or not to be I suppose. There are so many avenues I could take with this that I feel compelled to say that a song or two could be written, maybe even have been written about his life. Perhaps that’s why he connected so much with Lucinda’s music. I can’t begin to express to you all what an honor it is for my dad to be recognized on Lucinda’s website as he has. Special thanks are given to the administrator for making it happen and to the members, especially Lefty, for making it all possible. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers. I leave you with this, be real, tell it like it is, and always be considerate of those around you. What can I say, that’s Sonny. Oh yeah, don’t forget Mother Earth, she’ll be here for future generations long after we’re gone.
‘American V’ here as well,along with Johnny’s ‘Personal File’.Found a used copy for ’bout 12 bucks.A steal.But ya know,I’ve been listening to Cash all my life.I’ve cut back on my buying recently due to the pre-order of the new Waits 3 CD set and the Clash Singles set.I wasn’t big on the punk stuff way back,but I did like the Clash and the Stranglers.I still spin them both fairly often.Love Neko Case but all I have is ‘Blacklisted’.I’ve heard most of her other stuff and it is all great.Wow,what a style!!
Peace,
SonO
