Jay Su + AWG Fundraiser


August 16 2009

Hey sportsfans!

So last night we played for a very special occasion. We played at a celebration of life for Jay Su. Although I've only had the chance to meet Jay a couple if times, it was enough to get a feeling of the rad person he was. Even more saddening was the ripple of emotion seen through my circle of friends... who had the privilege to know Jay at a closer level. This was also an awareness of the Drew families loss... Jay Drew, who also died in a tragic car accident.

AND furthermore, on a happy note... to raise some money for the average white guys football team! GO AWG!

I was definitely touched at the moment when everyone came together to remember Jay as we played one of our more depressing songs "Departed" This song is not one that I enjoy to play very often just because of its sad message behind it. BUT it this situation is seemed to fit just right. We would like to send out a huge thank you to Rich Norman and everyone else who help setup the stage. Your support means the world! Another huge thanks to Wayne for doing the sound, and rockin' those Bob Marley covers. Very appropriate! Apparently Beer pong isn't my sport either, I'll just stick to the sidelines as I was a DD last night. The whole event was a "hand your keys over" which means there was ZERO drinking and driving to be taken place.

Remember, many people have suffered a tragic loss to the hands of drinking and driving. Its NOT something to be taken lightly. I know if anything were to happen to a close friend of mine due to a stupid mistake... I would be lost. So just remember that it can happen to you the next time you bring the keys with you, and do the right thing.

Check out some of our photo's!

love and respect

Ron Stewart, RIP


August 13 2009

We all have our reasons in life. We all do what we have to do, what we need to, but sometimes we do things because we love to.

I love to play guitar, sing, and write songs. The reason this all started is because of one man, one musician, my uncle... Ron Stewart. This morning I got an email telling me that he passed away yesterday morning at 9:30. Cancer of the liver... Right now It's hard to believe as he took me to lunch at McDonalds only a month ago. It's even harder to realize the impact his passing has upon my family and everyone who has had the pleasure of sharing some time with Ron.

Yes, this is life and yes these things happen. Yes this was too soon and very very unfortunate. It saddens me to realize we can no longer sit and chat about gear, music, classic rock or life. Ron you will be greatly missed by me, and all of the family.

I will forever be grateful to you for many reasons. Your inspiration, your knowledge of the industry passed down, and most importantly, the gift of music that has opened my eyes to a whole new world of enlightenment. Ron sent me a written letter in the mail, I didn't think anyone still sent out letters anymore, but that's just his style. Old school. Within the letter he sent me his cd's and a demo track of a song he has been working on... he asked me to do something with it... The song is called "follow your heart" and something tells me he had me in mind when he began working on this song.

So Ron, I would be honored to finish your demo, and keep your name and thus, keep your music alive. Its warming to still hear your voice on these cd's but its also a very sad experience because it makes me feel as if your beside me playing these same songs at the family barbeque.

Last few words here...

Ron you are missed.
I'm happy you no longer feel any pain.
I know your playing your guitar somewhere...
I will never forget you.

Love,

Dan

"theres somethng now i wish you could see,
never did doubt once that you had it in you, just like me.
go on young one, play your melody,
yours will be the voice of reason and the voice ringin' out through the trees"
