Dearest fellow audiophiles, music lovers and enthusiasts;
Feeling a bit down at the moment, lost my uncle few days back to a terrible battle with Alzheimer's. He was only in his late 60's.
The ironic thing is, he lived in Chicago for nearly 46 years, was the head of the psychiatric ward for a well know health care organization in Chicago called FHC (First health care), for nearly 40 years, and ended up having the disease of some his same fellow mates...
He lived like a king, was a very simple man, loved nice suits and the best of restaurants. He loved his car, the great old Ford Thunder Bird (champagne gold), and most of all loved Simon and Garfunkle's Scarborough Fair. So this I dedicate to him and to all those who love S&G's music - Scarborough fair.
In this day we live in, with all the craziness going on, ISIS, terrorists, Ebola, and the other unnecessary madness, we still have our loved ones around us, whom we can surely love to the best we possible can. Family and close friends are most important, and most of all the music! Therefore, I have decided to stop with all upgrades and purchases for a while (probably looking at 10-15 years from now), and focus on the finer things in life, like family, since they are all we have...
I am playing Scarborough Fair right now but only difference is there is no cigar and scotch on this occasion.
To all those who love your music and most of all your wonderful family, Cheers!
RJ
