Yesterday was a day of sadness. Last night found me in reflection as I sat on my patio playing each of Hugos albums and sippin some rum. Many of Hugos songs suddenly took on a greater meaning for me. Memories and feelings flowed. We talked every year of touring the Civil War battlefields here in Northern VA. Sadly, it was a destination we never saw thru. As my night was coming to a close, the final instrumental version of Somewhere Headed South (reprise) ended. Its beautiful ending left such a silence and stillness in the night. It seemed so fitting. I just sat there not wanting to let go of the moment. A good couple of minutes past and I just sat. Then came a light breeze and just one single wind chime rang twice and stopped. I smiled, got up and went to bed thinking no one is going to believe this, but from all Ive read since yesterday, Hugo had a way of touching each and everyone he met. That was his gift I believe, and his music brought us all together. Peace Hugo. Thank you. I will miss you.
