There are so many wonderful memories of my life with my sister Virginia. My favorites are some of the road trips we went on. One favorite night was right after having the plate removed from my right shoulder after I had broken it a year previously. Virginia drove out to Austin to take me to the hospital in Temple. A day or two later, our friend Conrad Gutherie was playing with his band near Pasadena, Texas at a local road house. We drove over 2 hours to get there to hear him play.
Virginia was always a great traveling companion as we would share new music, gossip, politics, esoteric topics, or even sit in silence and be comfortable.
I will certain miss our travels together, but nearly not as much as our bi-weekly chats on the phone; those I sorely miss.
