    On January 11, 2023, I lost my dearest friend, George, to a terrible disease which stole him away slowly over the course of 5 years. George and I met 38 years ago and instantly hit it off. It didn't take long before we were best friends and the closest of confidants. George was the BEST best friend. Not only was he the person I had so much fun with, he was my counselor, my therapist, my confidant, my cheerleader, my kindred spirit, not to mention my creative partner in crime. We didn’t just talk. We went deep - into subjects like spirituality, psychology, philosophy, interpersonal relationships. He was one of the few people on this earth who TRULY got me and loved me for everything that I am, warts and all. When he saw my darkness, it didn’t faze him. He just saw it as another interesting facet of his beloved friend and then gently steered me back toward the light. In my estimation George was much nicer than me, so I felt like I had to up my game around him, which resulted in a good deal of evolution for me. Occasionally I will get a compliment for being loving, warm or compassionate and when I do, I know I owe that to George who helped me become a better and kinder person.
    I feel utterly lost without George and I don't know what to do with myself now, floundering around without him as my touchstone. I didn't even touch my guitar for a month, but I decided today to pull it out and create something in George's memory. And I challenged myself to do the video editing myself for the first time, even though I don't know what the heck I am doing. I did that in honor of George who NEVER saw any challenge as insurmountable.
    Rest in peace, my dearest friend.

    I sit here... between having goosebumps and the precipice of tears.
    Your story about you and Georgie pulls at my heart, the feel of loss and emptiness.
    But also what a gift in life to meet someone who you connect with on such a high level.
    We as humans are so blessed to have this thing called memory, a blessing and a curse at times, but nonetheless a blessing. We have an internal camera which takes photographs of things we love and care about, and a endless album to pull those memories from.
    It's so easy to say "Georgie will always be with you", but it's true.
    Thank you for sharing this beautiful story about your time together, and for putting your feelings into a song inspired about Georgie.

      Thank you so much for this beautiful message, Richard. I am glad my song impacted your heart. My hope in composing it was to capture my love for George, a love which will continue forever. I do believe I will see him again and I imagine he will be there to greet me when I cross over someday. I miss him a lot.

    Oh that is a beautiful tribute for your dear friend George, Vesper! Your song is incredible and the video is so touching ❤
    I recently watched your video on fb where you played D&B for him ...he just loved it, I could tell (I did too of course). He just seemed so delighted at the end. I can only imagine his appreciation from the other side at what you've done here.
    May you feel his Presence around you always.
