I have already made plans to be enroute to Mississippi during the funeral.  Unfortunately, I am the family transportation and people at the destination have made arrangements to hold off a surprise party for a friend until we arrive and I cannot delay to attend the funeral.

I'm sick about it, but am sure he is going to have a grand send off from the biker community.

Guidedawg, thanks for sharing this.  I didn't know Bluesman personally but I know that he will be missed by a lot of people.

I took the whole day off and I'm hitting the road within the hour.  Gonna take my time and think good and hard about how precious and short life is.  I'll see you all there.
