Posted by Strat on 4/7/2006, 1:41 pm, in reply to "The Crumb" Hiya Peev. I hope you are well and JID is making you smile. I love & miss you much. (Niko too) Mark Crumb took a huge chunk of my heart with him yesterday. It was his. I gave it to him such a long long time ago. I must have still really loved him a lot because i feel like i cant breathe. I can cry though. Crumb...Zax...Music Unlimited...Shaboo..that blond Strat...bong hits out the bedroom window at his parents...recording backwards guitar on the old Teac Reel to Reel...Graham dedicating JBE to us and announcing our engagement in Colt Park when i was 18....Crumb shooting a two-foot flame and setting his pants on fire the night he lit a fart on the couch at my parents house after eating a big bag of Funyuns...Sherri's Dad nicknaming Mark "BlackBrains" because he said he had "shit for brains"...The way Crumb worshiped The Beatles and the sparkle that lit his eyes every time he played Here Comes The Sun...The day he turned me onto Peeve's guitar playing from a Shaboo video (and the rest is history)...When Crumb got to see CPR at The Garde and i introduced him to Croz...And the very last time i played guitar with him, for the first time in 19 years, at a Benefit Concert on a song i wrote for our friend Jeff Guntner (Crumbs old student and my best friend) who had passed away earlier in the month from Cancer at age 37. Crumb held my hand when Jeff died two years ago. Bob, I hope you will hold my hand on Sunday. Peev...Crumb thought the world of you as a player and a person. He passed your name, music and legend down to his students as if offering up a bounty of gold. Thank you...and now back to your regularly scheduled program after this sad commercial break. I think I'll go play guitar now. Strat
Thanx Bob. Glad i got to talk to you today.I will see you on Sunday. Bring Anisthetics please.
