about

The closest I ever came to being a father was being the boyfriend of a woman with a son who was fourteen years old when I came into his life and was nineteen when his mother and I split up. He was a troubled kid named Luke who raised by his mother without a dad. Kid was a little gangster. Got busted for selling drugs in the middlde of Fairgrounds Park in North St. Louis one night. It took more patience than I ever thought I had but in that four years he went from hating my guts to liking me pretty well. When he gratuated and celebrated his eighteenth birthday I didnt have any money to buy his something so I wrote him a song, gave him a recording and told him I wrote it was his. I had suspected he wouldnt really "get it" he did though. It blew his mind, he loved it. It was the closest we got. Five years later he died in his pick up truck on a Colorodo road by himself. Drugs were invovled.
