Dedicated to Mr. David Crosby

Thank you for the music.

Listened to “Eight Miles High” while I painted it. Always loved that song since I was four years old.

How blessed I was to have been born into the world that had David Crosby in it.

For him, to honor his memory.

I did the best I could though.

I hope when he looks down from heaven he will see the outpouring of love and grief from all us fans and know what his music meant to all of us.

I think of him young and healthy now, maybe sailing in the “Mayan” or spending time with his Mom and brother, or hugging his former girlfriend Christine Hinton.

I think of him creating new music in heaven, because whether on earth or in heaven, he was always going to be all about that music.

as well as available youtube concerts.

The painting is beautiful. Is that from an album cover? On edit, I see I missed that you painted it. Exquisite!

Who wouldn’t be?

That is truly inspired! I especially noticed that around the edges you used very dark colors which makes the bright colors look incredible and fantastic. What a beautiful homage you created! Great work indeed!

Your kindness and encouragement warm my heart like nothing else in the whole world and I am so grateful for that and for you.

Oh I hope I have honored him properly with this one. I tried my best, through tears of grief at having lost him.

I listened to music he was a part of creating nearly all my life. I didn’t really remember a time before David Crosby, and now I have to learn to live in a world without him. We all must.
