Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
Thank you for the days, / Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me. / I’m thinking of the days, / I won’t forget a single day, believe me. / I bless the light, / I bless the light that shines on you believe me. / And though you’re gone, / You’re with me every single day, believe me. / Days.
A best friend. “BFF” as my daughter used to say.
Yeah, a best fucking friend is something to certainly have. Throughout my days of “rock ‘n’ rolling,” I’ve lived a charmed life with many friends. I’ve always had a truly diverse bunch of pals. Since my sandbox days of Central Park (NYC), I’ve identified my best friend as my childhood pal Bram Towbin. Bram is a flower farmer in Vermont. We try to stay in touch but it’s mostly via emails. Still, I am thrilled by our history, trustworthiness, sense of humor and lilacs, so we shall remain BFFs.
In reality my current best friend is a female cat I named Nori. (Yes, as in the seaweed you wrap sushi in.) She’s a constant with constant companionship and understanding.
This Idelic Hour is dedicated to best friends and one in particular. She is a female black lab puppy named Bae who has grown up right next to my office. Today is Bae’s last day at work. She has graduated during her days with us and will now begin her journey as a seeing eye dog. I will miss her, and oh those brown eyes!
Big props to my friend and coworker Val. Wow, what an incredible and valiant gesture. For Val and Bae, here’s an hour of records that make me think of BFFs.
