A sad post about the passing of a true sportsman over at my other place.

"And then five cannibals burst out of the bush..."

Al Grierson

I can't help but think about my old friend Al Grierson these days. Al dragged my protesting ass to the best folk festival in the country, the Kerrville Folk Festival, in 1995, and quite literally changed my life. I will always be very grateful for that. Al lost his life in a flash flood in Texas in 2000. He was a damn good person, and I miss him.

Here's to you, Al, and to the girls.

And here's a song Jack Hardy wrote to Al.
