MY FLAGS ARE AT HALF STAFF FOR JIM COLEMAN AND BOBBY WEBBER


My good friend since elementary school in Alabama, Jim Coleman, died last week. Jim was a stellar guitarist, devout Christian, and fabulous musician My thoughts and prayers are with his mother, sister, brother, daughter, and family.

I learned the next day that my old band-mate, Bobby Webber, died in Virginia Beach. Bobby was the most gifted musician I have ever known and made magic with the keyboards and his writing. Admittedly, a wild and crazy man, Bobby lived for the joys of rock and roll. He gave more joy than he received.

I am grateful and fortunate to have had them both as close friends and musical commiserators.

Sadly,

Jim Conner
