I wake up to news of a suicide bombing of the World Trade Center Towers. It's just so hard to believe that someone would actually do such a thing. It's the only story on the news. Everyone is trying frantically to locate loved ones. There's just no making sense of this kind of thing. The horror of this will test the faith of many among us in this country. The pictures are incredible; they look like a movie, but we all are starting to understand that it's true.
The terrorist attack is affecting more than the financial world, and not only those who live in New York. The closings of all US airports threatens to leave us without a bassist since Dave Richards is home on business. There's a good chance he'll be stuck until air travel resumes.

Well, it's showtime and, due to circumstances beyond our control, Cecil will be filling in for Dave 'Don King' Richards…
It turns out that Cecil is a real 'soldier'. I don't know how he did it, but he filled in for Dave and didn't miss a beat. It must have been more than challenging, considering how accustomed he must be to doing his job as lead guitarist. The two take such a different set of skills.
