For those that don't know the story , i recently made a guitar for Dan Sleep after he was diagnosed , and I'm glad he had some time to enjoy it before his passing . my plan was to get a guitar from him if/ when he got better . Sadly.... that never happened . But "Downtown Vinnie" heard of my wishes and hooked me up with a guitar of Dan's that a service member friend of his had . and they both decided to gift it to me . Just goes to show how cool some folks can be in this family we call CBN ;-) thanx from the bottom of my heart guys ;-)

yeah , that was the idea John .  even though  i was talking to him pretty much nightly from the night of  him complaining of "side pains"  and us both   thinking  / hoping it was  "gas"  . to  his hospital visit calling it  "chronic nausea" , to coming back home , then   returning to the hospital    and getting  the cancer diagnosis ..... then boom  !  .  gone,... all  within a couple of months .   i  was still struck  with the disbelief  , it's like someone hung up on us  .  :-/

Pick, if the abrupt ending was symbolic of Dan's, that is really good.

Cheers John  ,  the abrupt ending was ...."symbolic."

What a wonderful story AP, albeit tinged with sadness. Like you say, folks in these parts are very cool, yourself included....A lovely thing you tried to do there, and a beautiful git to remember your friend by as well. Thanks for sharing.
