#98 - Jonnie visited us once or twice a year. I would pick him up at the BART station. I think he enjoyed the change. He came for the homecooked meals and boat ride.
A story close to my heart. I have been surrounded by musicians most of my life, and you have captured the experience well. It's too bad your friend couldn't catch a break with his recordings. It is always "The carrot dangling before the horse." Great memoir!
Brrrr. The Tenderloin. The stuff of nightmares, day or night. A movie could be made about the area and everyone would think it was fictional and directed by Ridley Scott.... I hope he got out of there, too. Great memoire, James Ron.
You made me wonder about a lot of past friendships that somehow floated away in the fog. It makes me wistful as I think about them.
Me, too. People I thought at the time I would know forever. Little did we know how time can change things.

Hello Sharon! It is a rough road for sure. I'm glad my story connected with you. Thank you very much!
Perhaps having a plan for the future is less important than being able to look back without regret.
I like that, Rad. Well said.
Nice memoir James. It really is hard to keep in touch with people as the years pass so quickly. I hope he is alive and well and doing what he loves.
I hope so too, Jim. Thank you for writing!

That place has always been a mess and it just gets bigger. Re movie - 👍. I hope one day I'll hear from Jonnie. Thank you, Sharron!
Another powerful story, James.
Hi, Jim! Thank you very much.
