Current update


Hello friends and phamily. Garry is still in the original hospice unit. He was not moved yet because they are still trying to get his pain under control. He was so grateful for the messages and music tributes by the Coral Reefers. Since Monday the pain and medications are causing him to be confused and restless. His sister (who is a doctor) has been there to visit and take care of things. He knows you all send your love. Pray for comfort. <3

Is it “true to size” ?

I usually take a large but I ordered an XL. The neckline is a little loose but the shoulder seams are perfect and the body of the shirt doesn't hang down much lower than my size large t-shirts.

Just got home from a party where we discussing summer plans. I’ll be out on Nantucket for most of the summer and I mentioned I hoped The Chicken Box would have live shows. Naturally people asked about Buffett. I told them I wasn’t sure if he’d be touring this summer although he seems to be planning on it. Is Great Woods still the best stop on the tour, someone asked? Typically. But one year I did this rod trip from Key West to Tampa and that Tampa show was as much fun as I have ever had in my life.

Why? I was asked.

The people of course.

One person in particular who removed his belt during the after party and just went crazy swinging it around over his head as the music played. I mean crazy. No apologies, no hesitation, just a man caught in the moment. People were diving out of the way. It might sound silly. A smidge weird. But this man came to party. And he went all in. I can’t emphasize enough how that’s all we can ask from anyone. And I appreciate the f*cking sh*t that I was in the right place at the right time to party with this man. I still smile about it. :D

If you read this, Wino - thank you for a great day. You are a bad as$ fun loving son of a gun.
the hit and run is as good as any religion around this time of year . . .

Saturday morning prayers and well wishes, while I reflect on the fun and BN faces of Delray, and look forward to an afternoon of music from Johnny Russler and the Beach Bum Band, and I wish both included big Garry hugs and the distinct sound of his voice.

I haven't been in BN for a while, but today I felt compelled to make an appearance. I know Garry is likely beyond the point that he's getting these messages, but I want to throw mine out for everyone else to read. Garry and I have texted frequently through the years, and like the rest of you, I have always felt a close kinship with him. Always treasured the concert interactions, but just as much, the conversations. He has sent so many gifts to my daughter through the years, since they bonded over their mutual love for the Beatles. He's just such a wonderful person, and despite the time we've had to prepare, it will still hurt to know he is gone.

Garry, we never did get to that minor league baseball game. But next game I go to, I'm raising a cup to you. Next concert tailgate, I'll be scanning t the crowd looking for your face.

Love you, my friend. Be at peace.

Well said, the 1st time I met Garry was when I met you at Alpine. Great memories of a great guy who I'm lucky enough to call a friend. Through everything he is going through. I did get a personal message from him on my Birthday. That is Garry, thinking of others before himself. I actually kept the message as a reminder of his kindness towards others.

It's true.
No matter what, Garry never would miss an important date. Birthday, Anniversary, Shirt, whatever.
