So many times in my life I have found myself just too busy to stop ... and say "Thank You" to those who have made a difference in my life. Even folks that I have never met face to face (but would like to) have gone out of their way to make my day a "better day" or just sent me an uplifting e-mail. I just get so tied up doing "stuff" that I don't take time to tell them what it means to me. Yes, there are a lot of things that I can't do anymore; or do as I once did, but if I focussed on that, I would go nuts. God never closes one door without opening another. I believe that.I have been able to write some stories about the old days of Rock & Roll, and most of you have read them. I'm also blessed with being able to write a column in the local news paper about this old neighborhood of mine, and what it means to me. A couple of other stories of mine have found their way to magazines both here and overseas.I play guitar everyday here at home, and once in a great while do a little snippit of a show. Sitting up there on my old stool feels good, and it's great to just be able to do THAT! I've been able to record my songs here at home and have 4 cd's out there floating around. All because of friends ... like YOU who have supported me and what I do. When I look back at my life, it's been full of bumps and grinds ... just like everyone elses I guess, but mostly, it's been full of blessings that can't be counted for sure. "YOU" meaning my friends: Have lifted me up, when I've been down for one reason or another. Have helped support me by buying my products. Have stood beside me, when others would not. Have prayed for me when I requested it. Some of you have even been to our home here in Indy. We've really enjoyed that!The old Studio upstairs smiles with joy everytime I open the door and turn on the lights and see all those happy faces on the wall staring back at me.(if you haven't already - send me an 8 x 10 for my music room) What a joy it is knowing all these folks are in one way or another, "MY FRIENDS" What an inspiration! I thank God for all He's done for me. Hey! I'm still walking! Some days are more difficult than others, but no big deal. God is there, right beside me, every step.I also thank all of YOU, for your kindness, your support, and mostly for just being my friends. NOTHING in my lifetime ... outside of my "Rockabilly Queen" Susie, will ever replace that. NOTHING! THANK YOU ALL! AND MAY GOD BLESS! RONNIE HAIG Backporchpicker@aol.com Read more on Last.fm.
