Eric Tessmer

This reply came early this morning for an entry I wrote in early March .....

Hey Rodney,
I know it says anonymous, but this is Doug, the drummer for the Eric Tessmer Band....ran across your blog entry and wanted to thank you for such kind words about our band.

Quicy was very supportive to us this spring. I gotta say, we were surprised....Ash Wednesday...and we didn't think anyone knew who we were. Thanks to you and everyone that came to see us.

We'll be back at the Blue Onion on Tuesday, June 27 and we'll be there for Blues in the District on August 25. Hope we get to see each other again. Peace.

One Year Ago

I don't put a lot of weight into dates and times. But it was one year ago almost to this very hour that my mom passed away in Grand Rapids.

There is still a very empty feeling today, especially with the rain.

She is indeed in a better place, and that makes me feel better.
