“I originally recorded a different version of this song in 1996 with Rich Hopkins and The Luminarios. I wrote it after my grandfather passed away that year. He had remarried when I was fairly young and he and my grandmother were a wonderful love story.
More recently it reminded me of another couple completely in love even though one of them faced the ultimate journey earlier than the other. Everything is temporary. All that we have is our love for each other. That is what lives on.
"It's all about friends and music."
Rob said that to me one of the first times I ever met him. Still says it. And that is how Leah and Rob live their lives. Leah and Rob Rule are two of my very favorite people on the planet. And beyond. I know Leah is looking down and smiling still. It is an honor and a privilege to be able to call them friends. Massive love to you both always.”
I knew Bob before he was 'Slim'. Then lost touch. Always followed him musically from Buzz Barker and the Atomic Bums to his solo work. I was never much into listening to live music at First Ave or bars so I didn't really get to watch him play and sing. I did see him open for Roseanne Cash once. Take care Bob! clayb
