This weekend at a gig something happened while we were playing. A dear friend was struck while crossing a highway to get to his car. He was killed instantly. He was known to everyone in the audience and it was a devastating blow to our community. He was a prominent citizen and a lover of music. Of course the band and I are experiencing a million emotions but the obvious question in our minds is do we really want to continue after this life changing event. I wonder if any of you have had this experience? If so I would appreciate your insights or thoughts on the subject.
