Good news and bad news

From: "Robert Ross Band Email List" <bluesman@PROTECTED>

Subject: Good news and bad news

Date: September 28th 2022

I've got good news and bad news.
Good News: I got back from Philadelphia on Sunday. I was there for a week making a gospel recording. It should be released on an indie label in early 2023. More about that in the weeks to come. It came out really well. Something to be proud of. Wait'll you hear it. It won't be long.
I have gigs in Jensens Beach and in Hallandale Beach coming up very very soon. Sorry about the short notice. We had a hurricane around here, well, on the Gulf coast side of Florida, about 110 miles away as the crow flies. Fortunately, we are okay, but I know people who are in the trenches.
Sad News: A dear dear old friend and my ex-drummer has left this world and gone on to a better one. George Morales. I am in shock. When I get details I will let you all know. Nick Trill and Joe Taino both messaged me about this. I met George in 1974. We played thousands of gigs over decades. Gigs of all kinds, the good, the bad, and the spectacular. We butted heads over music. We laughed. We celebrated. We worked hard. We played hard. He was a brother, a brother from another mother. RIP.
