Happy hour. What are you Fiddlebacks listening to?

Well, my fiance's beloved Poppee passed away two weeks ago and the void he's left will be felt for a very long time. I've only known him for little over three years, most of which he suffered from cancer and a number of other complications (one of which was a fall he sustained in the backyard during hurricane sandy, which exacerbated the situation)...but he readily welcomed me into his family from the start and i was just one of the family in no time. It feels like yesterday just last month when he was so happy that I fixed his new Comcast cable box whose clock was too bright for his sensitive eyes. Popppee would've turned 80 next week....he was a Christian, a great story teller, a carpenter, a navy reserve, a freemason, a volunteer fireman, but most of all, someone who was beloved by his wife of almost 60 years, five children, and numerous grandchildren. Poppee used to whistle Blue Moon to my fiance during many of their camping trips near the shores of Jersey in her childhood...so here's a classic...thinking of the man I wish I would've had more time with.

Sorry for your family's loss, it seems like he was surrounded by a loving family and that is priceless. Stay strong bud.


@duder I just bought tickets for the NJ show. I'm a Neil fanatic and this will be my first time seeing him live. Can't wait.
 
catalystman,
It's kinda crazy how something like a song, brings back a flood of memories. Thoughts and prayers to you.
 
I bought our Jimmy Buffet tickets today! It's an annual family event. My wife and I and my daughters. Best summer party ever!

Josh I feel very insensitive after my post. I just saw your post. I'm sorry for your loss.
 
Thanks everyone for your kind words, it means a lot to me :) I was talking to Sarah my fiance about poppee tonight and shared your replies with her, and they consoled her greatly.

Haha, no worries Dave, one wouldnt expect to come into this sub and see this kinda post every day. It's all good brother.
 
I have no idea why this song has been stuck in my head all day!

"Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got out of prison,
and I went to pick her up in the rain.
But before I could get to the station in my pick-up truck..."

Somebody finish the rest...

Great version Duder. Here's another original that was covered by Metallica as well.

Absolutely one of the most beautiful songs ever written (oh and by one of the most criminally overlooked bands when considering "greatness")

This one gets played in my house at high volume before everyone of my son's games. I'm superstitious about not playing it at this point; his team is best in the league!!!
