The years are coming faster now Jesse, I am thinking of you on this day my brother. Janis is singing and you and I are trying to keep up with her in the background. I will never forget for all the days of my life.

Another year Jesse, I promise you I will never forget. I think of you more with each passing year. I will play Janis tonight for you and for me. |
Piece of My Heart, today and everyday. I miss you my brother. |
Another Piece of My Heart, thinking of you today Jesse. |
It's been another year Jesse, you are still in my heart. Semper Fi my brother. |
Sitting here playing Piece of My Heart for you Jesse. What a song! I miss you and wish you were here. Too many years Jesse, we were so young. I pray for all who went and those who didn't come back. I still believe we did the right thing and I know the men over there today believe the same.
Somehow the music makes it all easier. I raise my glass to you and play Janis one more time. We could never hit those high notes could we? |
Thank you Jesse, Janis is playing, I don't care how many years it's been I'll never forget. Thank you all that served and all that waited and supported us, we all share a Piece Of My Heart. |
Brother Jesse, another year, miss you more with each passing year. Remember how we loved the music? There will never be another Janis. Thank you for all that served and waited for us to come home. I'll play "Piece Of My Heart" for all of us tonight. |
I'll never forget Jesse, the years are coming fast, the hair is gray and the children have children but I'll never forget our friendship. It was 42 years ago this fall that we listened to Janis and sang so out of tune. I miss you my brother. |
I recently received an e-mail of what dead rock stars would look like today if they would have survived. There was one of Janis and I immediately thought of you Jesse. I can still see her singing Piece of My Heart and I can still see you and me singling along with her. On this special day like many other days I remember you my friend. |
I recently saw Bob Dylan and one of his encores was "Blowin In The Wind" It struck me how relevant the song was still today. Thinking of you today Jesse, I will never forget... |
Another Memorial Day Jesse, I remember you this day and many others. Recently saw a Janis special on PBS and she sang "Piece of My Heart" I remembered our fractured version we sang together when the song was new. I'll never forget you Jesse. |
Another song Jesse "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" Thinking of you today my brother. I promise I will never forget all the days of my life. |
Jesse ,my high school is building a Viet Nam Memorial to honor the boys of the 60's who didn't make it home. There were 22 of them from my high school with my class, 1966 having the highest number.They will have a veteran's wall. I am going to place your name and my name on separate bricks. I know on a Summer's night if one listens closely they will hear you and me singing Janis at the top of our lungs...I will never forget my brother.

I was just sitting out on the back porch watching the gentle rain come down, an unusual occurrence here in "tornado alley" in the Spring. I thought of another day long ago when you and I sang along with Janis. How we loved her music. Jesse you are on my mind this Memorial Day like so many other days as well. I honor your memory and I will never forget you my brother. |
Thank you garebear, my Father was also a WW II vet and passed. |
Jesse, it's been 51 years since we sang "Piece of My Heart" In many ways it seems like yesterday even though it's been a lifetime. I will never forget my brother...I honor your memory and think of you often but most acute on the day. |
Another year my brother. I think of you often, especially on this day. A year like no other. I will never forget Jesse, the days are getting shorter now but I will always remember our time together and how we sang along with Janis so long ago... |
Jesse, another year my friend, like so many days I am thinking of you today. More acute today on Memorial Day. Looking back and thinking of those days listening to Janis and straining our voices. Will play her today and sing at the top of my lungs and in my heart I will hear you next to me. I'll never forget my brother.
|
I remember when I was a boy and the old timers would go to the cemetery and decorate the graves on "Decoration Day". Now I am one of the old timers. I am thinking of you my brother, I'll never forget. Today I will play Janis for you and me, somehow the music always helps and makes me smile.
