Early this morning I found out that a friend in Wildwood, NJ passed away..
"Diamond Jim" used to join us on stage to do his signature song "taking care of business". This ends a 17 year friendship.

Half hour later my daughter called me to let me know my friend since 4th grade had passed away. I just finished some work on Alex's house over the summer.. This ends nearly a seventy year friendship..

Makes the recent emotional upset between friends on Synth Zone seem so little.
