Re: Where's Rocket??

I'm stunned Rocket, just a short time ago we met face to face for the first time in Oakland and Derek was there sittin' across the table sharing a beer and music conversation. My heartfelt feelings go out to you.

Re: Where's Rocket??

I just heard.  I am so sorry, Rocket.  I am a phone call away.... or about 3 hours by car, should you need me.  Whatever we all can give you is yours, for the asking.... including space and time.  I am sending you great love, my deepest sympathy, and a wish for peace for you all.  xoxo
