I know I haven't written in a long time. I've been wanting to write, post pictures, and all of the stuff normally associated with blogging. It was going to be happy and funny and all of the good stuff that happens to us in this place we call Hell's Back Pasture.
But I'd like to take a moment to write about someone most of you probably haven't ever heard of. He's not a fellow soldier or friend, but someone who has been a part of many people's lives and they didn't know his name. LeRoi Moore played saxophone for the Dave Matthews Band. More than that he arranged the compositions and gave his heart and soul to every performance that I've ever seen. His sound was woven into the soundtrack that plays inside of my head most of my waking hours. He died today. He had an ATV accident in the spring and was scheduled to do his physical rehab when he suddenly died from complications with his injuries. DMB has been doing their summer tour with a fill in sax player, but I have to think that it has to be emotionally numbing to look to the spot where your brother has been for nearly 20 years and see someone who hasn't payed the same dues with you there, knowing that he will never be there again.
I've never met him. Will never meet him. But I will miss him.
