You may recall me talking about a friend (Everett) who restored a 1936 Francis Barnett and let me ride it. You also may remember I wrote and recorded a tribute song after that called Franny B. I'm posting a link to a video of me (us) performing Franny B live with Everett AND his bike up on stage. In his memory, I mourn the loss. He ended his struggle with cancer today. R.I.P. my friend. (That's Ev having a great time singing and dancing with my sweetheart over on stage left). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuAqjI75Q5s

Sorry to hear that Keith, true friends are hard to come by.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

I remembered that post and was impressed - both for his having brought Frannie B. back to life and giving her a home, and for Everett's generosity in letting you ride. My deepest sympathies, Keith.

A really good friend is not easy to find and even harder to lose. Sorry for your loss.

sorry for your loss, buddy
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

I much appreciate the sentiments here everyone. We will celebrate his life on July 3 with friends and family. My band has been asked to play and you can be sure we'll perform "Franny B" more than once on that day. Sure miss the guy!
Live to love, love to live.
