Split Second

“Everyone gets their own burden, everyone gets their own special beating in life.” -Flea

Last night my gifted bandmate said in kind, “You don’t need to get better at guitar, you just need to get better.” (Painting angel wings on him in memory.)

I believe I am getting better. That My Little Dark Age is lifting… I’ve got to believe it.

Dawn is arriving and I’m attacking the fretboard with newfound vigor and attention. Pretty Woman and for a split second, Eddie smiles through. It’s him, it’s really him! The Crazy Diamond I used to know.

  1. Keep on playing!

    Music is one of the great things we have in life. It’s one of the arts that saves me ever day.

    Coulda married a lawyer, a developer, an advertising exec… you know, but I married a guitar player. (made me the family’s black sheep… a musician …a fate worse than anything! The humiliation! )

    Life could have been a lot easier, but not greater.

  2. This is awesome! Music is life, even as a film lover, I think music is integral in the cinematic experience. Btw, you probably know this already but Eddie Van Halen was half Indonesian, her mom was Indo and her dad was Dutch 😉

  3. I had to try 3 times until the reply was posted… in the first one I wrote how 2025 started strangely with a lot of things happening at home and at work in January alone. It feels it’s gonna be an intense year!
