Cranford Nix, I am very thankful that I knew you. I’m thankful for the friends I’ve made since your passing. I would have never met Fast Mike. Can you imagine a world without that crazy, lovable man?? Its not a world I want to live in. I miss you. I’m not alone. We all miss you. I was just getting to know you again. I wish I had known you better in the end. You told me you had some songs recorded that you wanted to put on the web. They are there, brother. And people are still listening. All over the world. You should be here to see that your songs have value. They endure.

Friends and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I’m so thankful for your friendship. I hope that you are okay and that someone has hugged you today.

Fans of Little Man, I’m glad you are here. I am so happy that you found Cranford’s music. Welcome to the family.

Please remember that although a lot of Cranford’s songs have drug references in them, that drugs are stupid. A mother and father have lost her son. Sisters have lost their brother. Two boys have lost their father. The world has lost a true one of a kind person to drugs.

We’re all that special – you are that special. Please don’t be a rock n roll cliche. It’s not cool. Have fun, but please be careful.

Cover
Brian from Treatment Bound sent me a link to a new studio version cover of A Heart That Ain’t Ever Been Pure. I hope you enjoy it.

Here are the guys performing it live! I especially love the Slim Jim Phantom style drummer. Cranford loved The Stray Cats!

I wish you all a very happy holiday. I hope you are able to be with the ones you love. Never take them for granted because things change in an instant and they could be gone. Don’t sweat little things. Don’t hold grudges. Forgive. Love yourself and tell the ones you love that you love them.

Family and friends of Little Man, you are my family. I love you all very much. I’ve been so touched by the love you’ve shown me because I’m nobody. Together we’re keeping the memory of our dear friend alive.

-Tim

Thank you Casey! No, actually – THANK YOU CASEY!!! We are so grateful. Words, even with all caps, can’t adequately express our gratitude.

The first is a song by Billy Druid called Last Call. Check it out! (right click, save the song to your computer)

The second is a video by FiSH (no, not that horrible jam band).

I started a Reverb Nation account for Cranford. I met someone today who posted a song player on my wall and it had all their songs in it. I thought that was really cool and a great way to share Cranford’s music.

If anyone has any experiences with Reverb Nation, I would appreciate your feedback (tsteffes@hotmail.com).

It goes without saying, but I’m going to say it anyway – just like here, the songs are free. I’m not trying to make money or anything distasteful.

I miss you Little Man. Wish you were here.

-Tim

And in case you missed this one, enjoy!
