Losing David Bowie today is like losing part of my soul...

Few other artists have meant as much to me and fewer still ever will.

When I bought my very first CD player 30 years ago, I made sure to buy a David Bowie CD. I got "Station To Station" because I wanted to play "Stay" really, really loud.

Before that, when my entire world seemed to be falling apart around me, I made sure to grab whatever Bowie released at the time because his music would take me away from my troubles.

Many years before that, when I lost my mom, Bowie's music was there as well.

He's been in my life for a good 40 plus years. Now he's gone.

This Friday I'm doing my show again, but according to the rules set up by Mixcloud, I'm only limited to three songs by any particular artist. I'm choosing one from his latest album and the other two from those times in my life when he was there for me.

It'll be my final farewell to someone that I can say that I've truly loved.

and it's hard to believe there will not be any more new, crazy, brilliant David Bowie stuff coming out.

But he led a wonderful life and always seemed to be happy.
