I've been struggling the past few years with some chronic health issues, and struggling with recurrent episodic depression over my daughter's death 8 years ago. I was looking to maybe start playing again, and Paul Purtle hipped me to Santa Fe. I was floored. Total ego wipeout from the first tune. A life-changing encounter.<BR/><BR/>Now, were these cats just killer players but full of attitude, I'd have just moved on, but they are -- to a man -- truly the nicest people I've met in music or anywhere. Jerry Lopez has totally inspired me; we talk personal life/music perspective stuff all the time. He's an ace human being. He turned me on to the book "The War of Art" (I posted about that book earlier in the blog) which has changed my entire outlook on creativity and effort. You simply MUST buy it and study it. You simply MUST write. Each of us has something unique to contribute, something to help heal humanity and ourselves at the same time). Go for it.<BR/><BR/>That's so cool about Gary's wife. LOL!!! Gary -- that cat can really sing! And his lyrics are fine, fine, fine.<BR/><BR/>Have a great Christmas and New Year.Thanks for posting your thoughts.<BR/><BR/>BobbyBobbyGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03807934795994985233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21455473.post-1166541419999847402006-12-19T07:17:00.000-08:002006-12-19T07:17:00.000-08:00Thanks for the kind words, Cholly.

Santa Fe has inspired me immensely.<BR/><BR/>I don't know who the woman is in the pic with Gary Loyd, assume his wife. ???BobbyGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03807934795994985233noreply@blogger.com
