Back in May I bought the "New" Elliott Smith album New Moon, which contains 24 never released on album tracks from his Kill Rock Stars days and it is amazing. This B-Side / Demo album is better than the finished products that big name artists are putting out now a days. The song-writing and guitar playing are Elliott at his best with that voice that is strictly Elliott. And though most of these songs have been out on the internet for quite awhile there is nothing like having the real thing.
On Thursday July 5, 2007 my good friend and former baseball teammate Cpl. Jeremy Allbaugh was killed in the al Anbar province of Iraq, he was 21 years old. It’s strange, I’ve been friends with him since the seventh grade and that was the first time I ever referred to him as Jeremy, I always called him “Allball”, and he always responded to it. I feel sorry for the people that didn’t know him, because they missed out on getting to know a once and a lifetime guy. Here is a link to the Tulsa World article about Allball, please take the time to read it to understand the sacrifice he gave for all of us. http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?articleID=070710_1_A1_World63278

Last week I enjoyed the music of Austin based blues artist Guy Forsyth at The Blue Door in Oklahoma City. He took the stage at 9 pm and played until 12:45 am making it one of the longest and best sets I’ve ever seen. He played a slew of instruments and one carpentry tool (the saw) with great precision. After the show he took time to talk with the twenty people that made up the crowd. He played the Bricktown Blues Festival the week before but he only had an hour set and it wasn’t in the personal setting that the Blue Door provides. If anyone gets a chance to see Guy Forsyth take it!

I am sorry for your loss. He sounds like a great man. I wanted to say thank you for the sacrifice you, his family, and his other friends have made.
Those people are doing our dirty work and I respect them for it.
What a tragic loss of a young man - I have Jeremy's family and friends in my thoughts and prayers tonight. There aren't any words to make sense of this .
