He used to come into the bookstore where i worked. Always a thrill to see him. He was always kind and would chat with me about books. Loved seeing him. Thanks for sharing this.
I believe you knew Country Joe McDonald. Last Saturday, March 7th, Joe passed. He had been crippled by Parkinson's for several years -- and I have not seen him in quite a while.
Years ago, he asked if I had seen you play in Berkeley -- the year ~2005. You played near the Berkeley Community Theatre. I missed seeing you; however, never forgot his admiration for you. I thought you might want to know.
I will miss seeing him. We stumbled into each other around town -- I attended his music benefits for our Vets, the Salvation Army, writers, and anyone who got sober. He contributed a lot to our community. He will be missed.
I don’t get out much, so there are many things with which I’m unfamiliar. One of them is a “lightening” bolt. I’ve never heard of that. Is there also such a thing as a darkening bolt? How does it work? How is it different from a lightning bolt? This is what’s great about the Interwebz. You get exposed to completely new concepts!
I remember when the two of you appeared together at the 92nd St y and despite the grandma next to me clucking with disapproval, i turned my phone on to audio record it and i remain so glad that i did. thank you for your generosity in sharing your friendship with us.

Sam Shepard was awesome. I feel comfortable seeing him on the big screen. Honest. Kind. Artist. Thanks, -Nancy

That is a beautiful remembrance of your friend. It brought him to life just a little bit for me
Wow and this moments I feel like I need to cherish my friends more and more and more
I am a new subscriber, Patti, and want to read everything. I admired Sam's work and your story was a gem. What a friendship!
Thank you you genius for sharing something this personal.
This was simply amazing!
What a beautiful gift to your friend and about your friend.
This is the most eloquent tribute I think I’ve ever read. Your words describe the beauty and meaning of what true friendship is meant to be.
Love forever
Beautiful. Xo
Loved Blackthorn. Didn't know it was filmed in Bolivia.
