R.I.P. George "Buddy" Miles (1947-2008)


I was deeply saddened to learn of Buddy Miles' death yesterday. He was one of my favorite drummers/musicians. There is a generation of people who only know him as the voice of the "California Raisins" commercials ("I heard it through the Grapevine"). But, to true music fans like myself, I remember The Electric Flag Band, his work in Band of Gypsys with Jimi Hendrix, and his own band, The Buddy Miles Express ("Them Changes"). The music world will mourn his passing.

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"

DEAR GOD: Sometimes I see my life as an unsolvable puzzle. My days move along rapidly, but the people and situations I encounter seem to make no sense. I consider and weigh carefully the decisions I think I should make, but find myself doing something completely opposite of what I thought I had decided. Then a moment of stillness comes, and I realize that all these random strands are actually part of the beautiful tapestry that is the journey of my life, and I am so grateful. Thank you, God, for leading me in paths I might never choose, and for giving the journey of my life a rich texture. Amen.
