I miss Jon Tierney
That man came to be another one of my brothers from another mother.
Listening to practice tapes, and our Sunday morning blues sessions and basement albums almost made me cry last night. Why is it that sometimes the decisions we have to make, always have a cost? I kinda know how C&E and M must have felt moving up here, away from all their family and friends. Knowing it was the best thing for them, but having to distance themselves from all the comforts of f&f... Don't get me wrong, I miss everybody so very much, but when you make music with someone for 5 years and live with them for a year and half, you grow a bond just short of that with a lover. It's funny Maine is like a cult, I want to bring all my friends into the fold LOL. I wish I could be close enough to walk to all my good friends homes and have dinner with them. But I don't want to leave Maine, so what's left? Import everyone else here...
Hey wait a minute? Isn't that what M&C did? I can't wait until this job in MV is finished.
I know the time away has been painful to their significant others, and I shouldn't feel as I do.
But I moved up here to be with my brothers, and before I even finished the move up they were gone. Now five months later, I've seen my 2 best friends for about two weeks total...
I've learned my way around town, learned to live on the meagerest of budgets, learned to make better use of my alone time. Even made some new friends. I still have the ache in my heart for time spent with all my good friends, maybe I was spoiled surrounded by everyone constantly for so long that I've forgotten what a good hiatus is like. Maybe I should continue trying to enjoy my solitude as I know, like all things, this too will pass away.
Jon I know you don't get online, and if you did, probably wouldn't find your way here but,
I love ya and miss ya brother. I miss the great music you make, and I miss being a part of it.
Your partner,
Brad
