I lost another old friend last night..

I remember posting "I lost a friend last night" years ago when Darrell Abbott - better known as Dimebag Darrell, from Pantera was gunned down onstage.. Before they were signed, Pantera, who were from Arlington Texas (about 120 miles from me) played my hometown about every 6 weeks.. I got to be really good friends with them over the years and got up onstage and set in with them several times.. We hung out quite a bit in the day across several different towns in Texas and Oklahoma.. Either they were playing, or we were playing and we'd just hang.. It crushed me when Darrell was shot and killed and now I just woke up to find his brother, and drummer for the band, Vinnie, has also passed away at 54.. No details yet, but it just breaks my heart.. Those guys did it better than anyone on the club circuit back then and rose to be "the" band of the 90's in the world.. Now both brothers are gone.. Prayers to the Abbott family...

Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
