I got word earlier this week that my best friend from Texas, Phillip had passed away. I can't beieve it, it's just not fair for someone so genuine to be snatched away from this world with so much more to share. Phillip was the only person who was not family that I kept in touch with since moving to North Carolina in 2000. He was an inspiration to me and all those who knew him and will be missed, hell, I already miss him.
Phil and I worked together on a couple of different musical projects over the years and I firmly believe had it not been for his inspiration, I would not be the person I am today. He pushed me to be a better person and a better guitarist. When we first met he had just joined a band I was playing in. I was perfectly happy to be the rhythm guitarist but he told me "I'm not going to be the only one doing leads." "You've got the chops" he said "I wanna see you cut some heads."
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, and I hope that they can find thier way through this adversity and have peace in knowing that he'll be with them always. I know Phil, and trust me, he's to stubborn to just go away.
Rest in peace my brother, I'll see you on the other side.
