Last night I lost someone very near and dear to me, my cousin Jamie. He was my best friend and brother since we were toddlers. He was only 50 and his life was cut short in a terrible motorcycle accident. I have nothing prepared for upload, the last three shows from Halestorm, Dave Holland Prism, and Venom were the last boots I listened to..and I can't bring myself to listen to any music right now, so I will be taking some time to mourn my fallen brother. I will be back in a few days...when I have come to terms with what has happened. This is not an end to The New JDP, I will be back...but music was a big part of my and Jamie's relationship...down to attending our first concert together (Bob Seger at Cobo Hall when we were quite young)...I can not listen to anything without the tears...so give me a few days....visit our archive and download some music, and celebrate the lives of those you love while you still have them...Call someone today and tell them how much they are needed in your life...
Fly On Jamie Hicks My Brother...I'll See You In Heaven!
My condolences on your loss Dave.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

Hope you find some peace soon. Lost my sister recently.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear, man. Keeping you in my thoughts today.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you at this sad time.

Sorry to hear my friend. I’m sure he was a good man. Take solace that he's in a better place now.
ReplyDeleteWhen you’re sad and when you’re lonely
And you haven’t got a friend
Just remember that death is not the end
And all that you’ve held sacred
Falls down and does not mend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
When you’re standing at the crossroads
That you cannot comprehend
Just remember that death is not the end
And all your dreams have vanished
And you don’t know what’s up the bend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
When the storm clouds gather ’round you
And heavy rains descend
Just remember that death is not the end
And there’s no one there to comfort you
With a helpin’ hand to lend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
Oh, the tree of life is growing
Where the spirit never dies
And the bright light of salvation shines
In dark and empty skies
When the cities are on fire
With the burning flesh of men
Just remember that death is not the end
And you search in vain to find
Just one law-abiding citizen
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
Music will help
