For sweet baby Bionca. A song for a child from a child.

Quinn Sullivan and Buddy Guy at the Egg in Albany, NY, March 31, 2100

Devasting news today. I am at a loss for words, so I will post this video for a little angel who no longer walks with us. There is a time and a place for Blues and never has that time been more appropriate than today.

Yesterday, driving home from Colorado after visiting my son and his family, I was listening to BB King's Bluesville on Sirius XM. Bill Wax was interviewing the legendary bluesman, Buddy Guy. With Buddy was his protégé of four years—Quinn Sullivan. In 2007, Quinn went to a Buddy Guy concert with his father and was asked to come up on stage by Buddy. When Buddy heard the eight-year-old play guitar there was no turning back. They have been jamming together ever since. They played this live recording on Sirius in the studio and I was deeply moved by this young man's talent—his tender voice and amazing guitar riffs. I want to share it with you.

If you are reading this post, please say a prayer for a father and mother who tragically lost their little girl today. Hold your children and grandchildren extra tight tonight, be patient with them, give them a kiss and tell them how much you love them. We never know what tomorrow may bring.
