This song is just…..haunting. Still so good.

me and my best friend johnny would play cards, gin, solitare, he was an artist, he liked to draw and sell his stuff and he woild do custom works for people too. he was kinda an alcoholic but we all loved him and he behaved himself ok. i met him when i was 17-18 and he was in his 60s or so. He had a blind little poodle mix dog named Bosley and i had my blue heeler Scout (both now passed)

anyways, we got along great, lauging, talking of philosophy, making so many jokes, funny faces, and bits and talking of history and just everything.. listening to music, (this was one of our favorites, thats why i write this here) we laughed until we cried.. we cried until we laughed.. we smoked and ate like brothers together.

he passed a few years later of a heart attack after he had moved out of where we were living together (my moms, he was a room mate with us, his brother was our friend and he needed a place to stay)

i write this to strictly remember him and bosley and for you, dear reader, so you may know who johnny and bosely and scout were too. i love you all, god be with you

I LOVE YOU JOHNNY GREENE

YOUR BUDDY CODY LODY 🙏💙

amazes me to this day that The Samples put Dave Mathew's Band on the map and they failed to return the favor when DMB made it big! Samples are far superior in every way!
