Here’s another example of my friends taking care of me.

I got a chance to see Ray Charles before he was gone…playing at the State Fair in Columbia, SC.

I probably would have been going to another pawn shop….looking for old guitars….or maybe I’d be watching another movie….or generally just screwing around and wasting time if it hadn’t been for my buddies who said, “Hey! You want to go see Ray Charles with us?”

I wouldn’t have had a chance to see Ray and his band if I hadn’t listened to my friends.

That’s nuts.

If it wasn’t for my friends, I would be more of a stick in the mud than I already am.

I guess that’s good to know.

For sure.

I love this song, anyway…..it’s a good excuse for a nice memory and for a new post.
