Furry Friend
This weekend, I was doing a little de-cluttering and I ran across some music CDs Julia had made for me. She often did that. I particularly remember her copying a bunch of White Stripes CDs she had inherited from her nephew for me. I didn't have any cash for extras at the time and I love The White Stripes, so I was thrilled she'd thought of me.
But yesterday I found some music that is forever associated with Julia for me. A few CDs of Paul Rogers music, including a few CDs he did with Bad Company from back in our high school days.
Julia just loved his voice, and thought he was gorgeous. She did like shortish, dark, and kind of hairy men. She traveled a lot to hear him live in the 90s and 2000s, met him and got autographs. She always referred to him as her "furry friend," So now, I have uploaded them to my phone, so Julia and her furry friend can drive around with me.
I also recall she admired him for being a man who was clearly content with what he had.
I still miss Jules every day and have mental conversations with her about what's going on in the news. But I can never think of anything as good or original to say about it like she could.
I hope you get a chance to listen in.
