Tim Graham 1955-2005
An old guitar playing friend of mine Tim Graham has passed. Our lives had gone different ways for the past 15 years or so and I am sorry that I let that happen.I think may be the singer songwriter Lucinda Williams said it the best, "...why'ed you let go of your guitar, why'ed you let it go so far..."
See you on the other side buddy.

Brief mention from the local paper.
I got my copy of the Dead's Filmore '69, Complete Recordings about the same time Tim's death was reported. The bonus disk has their version of "He Was a Friend of Mine". I thought I might rip you an MP3, but it didn't seem to fit as well as Dylan's version...
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Every time I think about him now
Lord I just can't keep from crying
'Cause he was friend a friend of mine
He died on the road
He died on the road
He never had no money
To pay his room or board
He was a friend of mine
I stole away and cried
I stole away and cried
'Cause I never had too much money
And I can't be satisfied
He was a friend of mine
He never done no wrong
He never done no wrong
He was just a poor boy
Long way from home
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Every time I hear his name
I just can't keep from crying
'Cause he was a friend of mine
Here's the story of the long strange trip this song has taken.
