I am not on social media at all except to update my music videos on YouTube or to update my show dates on Facebook. My son manages these accounts for me. I thought I would add a page to my website here to add a personal thought from time to time. So, here we go...
The world has really changed since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. So many families have been effected in so many ways due to this horrible virus. My family has also been greatly effected. First off... one of my best friends and one of the finest piano players I have ever known and worked with (Carl Chalfant) died from the virus. He was a retired NASA rocket scientist who worked on all of the Apollo missions to the moon. He was a big part in getting Apollo 13 safely back to earth. Then my brother Marc Cote died from the virus. Marc was a huge inspiration to me growing up. He was a very accomplished singer, guitarist, harmonica player and fantastic songwriter. He was a successful business man and the ultimate baseball historian. Then two month later my other brother Robert Cote also died from the virus. Robert was a career car man in every sense of the word. He was a very successful business man and he is in the Cadillac Hall of Fame. He was also a professional golfer in an independent pro league. He taught me everything about sports and especially the great game of golf. These men were my heroes. I have an emptiness in my heart that will never be able to be filled again. This has been one tough year for my family!
Experiencing tragedy like this truly does show you who your REAL friends are. It can bring out the best in people but unfortunately, it can also can bring out the worst in people. In this past year I have seen a side of certain people that has been quite upsetting and very hurtful. People who I thought were my close friends and folks that I could count on, really let me down. What a shame! Oh well... such is life and life goes on without them...
Thank you for visiting my website. Please come back again soon. I look forward to seeing you out on the road. God bless you all. Be safe.
