THE LATEST FROM THE RANCHO
Sunday, June 20, 2010
Hey, Fred...
The cottonwood struggles on, still surviving the red dot fungus which has taken down so many others in the neighborhood.
I need to get some lower limbs pruned.
The second annual JT gay pride event includes a "Fred Drake Stage," and Ted and Patti are playing a set of your songs.
There's even been mention of some "Ask, Tell, Pursue" t-shirts. Your impact -- and music -- continue to reverberate.
Dave tends the Rancho with loving care, and it's full of your vibe, spirit, and stuff.
All that is missing is you, our wonderful, irreplaceable friend...

You would have loved the party Dave threw for New Year's, Fred. I hadn't been inside in many a moon, but it looks just as you left it. Your old compadres have a new earthlings? record out, and I'm looking forward to giving it a listen.
Ted threw an inaugural bash at the JT Saloon. Obama's ears remind me of you and your dad -- a sign of good character.
Sage has turned into a little man, running all over the place. You'd have been his favorite uncle, for sure.
Happy Birthday, Fred. Thanks for sharing so much with us...

The full moon rises over Joshua Tree. A crockpot full of chili bubbles in my kitchen.
Ted, Tony and friends just got done playing some Fred-written and Fred-inspired songs at Water Canyon. "Little Blue" and some great photos from the Rancho Missing Angel Juan party are gracing Ted's Myspace page, if you're a member. Hard to believe that shindig was fifteen years ago.
Tomorrow is the longest day of the year... I'd kill for a cigarette.
