Feeling deep sadness and overwhelming appreciation. The appreciation and love for him is bigger though. Let’s take a minute and try to imagine our world if he never showed up. It’s unthinkable. Thank you King Edward. You are deeply loved and will be missed.

Mexico City, I arrived at the venue and this wonderful man was creatively navigating two guitars and performing his lovely rendition of "For the Love of God." Thank you Mexico City for an absolutely outstanding and memorable evening.

“I’ll try yours if you try mine!" I’m going to have a poster of this made & hang it in my bedroom so every time I see it, the 14 year old in me will see that dreams can come true. There is no way for me to quantify the quality of life this man has given me & so many others. (1/4)

It seems surreal to me that 34 years ago today was the release of the @DavidLeeRoth "Yankee Rose" video. That whole experience was a life blessing... Man, did we have a great time. I still marvel at how lucky I was to be a part of that party.

I believe this may be perhaps the first time I have ever performed a piece of music on solo acoustic guitar and vocals with nothing supporting me, and made it public. Our Moon has been a source of romance for many a poet, painter and song writer. Enjoy
