I Lost a Friend


Jon DeTar (JonD), a great friend, fellow musician (excellent keyboard player), and one of my collaborators has died. This is my tribute to him. I attempted to express sadness, pain so bad that you just want to scream, happiness that he is going to heaven, then back to sadness. I tried to write this chord progression in the style of Jon's writing.

As always all comments welcomed.

PS - If this isn't enough Jon is the third friend whom has passed this year!
