A week ago Sunday (Sept 13th), I ran into Steve at the East Ave Wegmans. He was buying a donut, and waxed poetically about the tasty benefits of donuts. We talked about lots of stuff – I filled him in on my trip to Abbey Road, giving him details and inviting him to see the pics and hear the audio. He talked about the tribute to Syd Barrett he was working on and asked me to play on it. He seemed very upbeat and, while we’d not seen each other in quite a while, it seemed like old times – for the first time in a long time. Anyway, we’d made plans – he was going to come down to the Little Theater and see the band play on Wednesday night. That, of course, didn’t happen. I always figured Steve would be around forever. And in some ways, he will be.
I miss you, Binky.
Signed, Binky.
