Last Friday, i was leaving the viewing of a dear friend, bemoaning the losses in my lifetime, including you, Stan, and I was feeling down. As in almost every other time I needed to talk to you, I started the car and, eerily, like every time I hear it, "Old Black Waters" by the Doobie Bros, came on FROM THE VERY FIRST NOTE BEGINNING! This is kind of our song, as it was one of your favorites. One night, heading back to Newport from dinner in Tustin, heading for the "Boat" (Reuben E Lee) to listen to the band, you couldn't think of the name of the song you wanted to request they play. It drove you nuts! Sitting at the bar, and at the end of one of the band's songs, before applause, in the momentary silence, you remembered and YELLED out "OLD BLACK WATERS! IT WAS CLASSIC. And the band played it. It always plays when I want/need to talk to you. I love it...keep it up! " Just keep on shining your light, gonna make everything, gonna make everything all right."
