Gone Too Soon...

I was sorry to hear of the passing of Sabine River Brass Band drummer Jason Carriger this past weekend. It was unexpected. Many that knew him better than I have written fine tributes but I write for my own remembrances that though I saw him play and we hung out only a handful of times Jason was the kind of guy that made you feel like a close friend. He made his personal interactions important.  

I made this photo at the 2015 Brass Band BBQ. 

Jason was the funniest guy on social media. He won the internet every time he posted his observances of human nature. 

They always tell you to hold people tight because you never know what will happen. I'm sorry Jason that we never got to develop the tuba-tooth paste idea or we did not get that chance to trade my fresh caught catfish for your home made sausage. 

Ramble on dude. I'll think of you every time I hear a brass band.
