I went to get yesterday's mail, and noticed my mailbox was drastically leaning to one side.
I was surprised to find a nicely wrapped and labeled package inside from John, along with some
advertisements to get my septic tank pumped, and a couple of bills.
I brought the contents inside and discarded the offer for septic service, and carefully opened
the wrapped box checking for trip wires and explosive devices (felt a bit like Jonesey must feel when
opening mail).
Inside the box was a nice 5er of smokes, all never hads, and 10 cds of fantastic blues that John had taken the time
to burn for me. Well, I do love me some blues, and he sent some great ones. Also included was a very nice personal note.
The discs were Johnny Winter, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Robert Johnson, and Little Charlie and the Nightcats.
I immediately plugged in the Nightcats disc, because I was not familiar with them. Well, it turns out I have seen them
play a couple of times Live. They have played as Rick Estrin and the Nightcats at the Blues Festival I go to every year
in the White Mountains of New Hampshire...they will be playing at the festival again this August.
Anyway, I cannot express my surprise and gratitude for this incredible unprovoked gift from John, a great gift from a
great brother. He really did brighten my day, and I can't thank him enough, but I can try...
Thank You So Much John...Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!🍺 Pabst Blue Ribbon, of course LoL
Almost forgot, also included in the box was some great Sonia Dada memorabilia...another great band John turned me
on to a few years back in one of his infamous Spear Prizes...Thanks again John🍺
