Bobby D. Is my favorite singer song writer.

@Lostpoet He has a talent and way of looking at life, and observing that I am in awe of. That he thought so much of Woody so as to track him down and then spend so much time with him-at such a young age is astounding.

@Elandra77 He was special breed. I like how he wrote in his year book that he's leaving town to join little Richie or something like that. I can't imagine an 18 year old kid now days doing something like that.

@Lostpoet I cannot fathom that either. He wished to be as as troubadour. He may have saw himself as the next Woody.

From a year later. So haunting.
