I am invincible when I wear Bobby's shirt. Friends for forty years, you the lead guitar, and I the bass player in our first band, "The Lourds", and countless other rock bands.

Billy Doyle
I watched him drag his foot, cross two lanes of traffic, and with no fanfare place something on the double yellow line. I moved my truck to the side of the highway, watched him limp out of sight, his movement sad as his dirty white trenchcoat. I ducked cars and buses, made my way to the center, felt...

A Day in the Life
