WORDS ILL REGRET FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. - (It Should Have Been Me) Thinking of my brother deeply right now in a Trance literally and with no pun intended at Trance music. My brother Fernando was my biggest fan and was very proud of me and music. Its okay to remember those weve lost but we cannot dwell in it. I share a similar story to February 3rd, 1959 when Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valenz, J.P. The Bopper Richardson were killed. It a tragedy dubbed The Day The Music Died. Long story short, frustrated by poor travel conditions by bus, Buddy Holly decided to charter a small plane. J.P. Richardson was supposed to continue on a poor quality bus but had the flu and switched places to travel on the plane with Waylon Jennings whom was supposed to fly instead. Tommy Allsup & Ritchie Valens decided a coin toss to win the spot on the plane and Tommy Allsup lost. Ritchie Valens ended up flying instead. Buddy Holly teased his bass player Waylon Jennings by saying, “Well, I hope your ol’ bus freezes up.” To which Jennings responded, “Well, I hope your ol’ plane crashes.” The plane did crash and to the day he died Waylon Jennings regretted ever uttering those words to Buddy Holly. In my circumstance, my brother and I were arguing over the phone over brotherly differences. It got very nasty and I was so mad at my brother for threatening me that I uttered, youre dead to me, dont call me anymore. He did. Fernando was diagnosed with Cancer about a month later. He died a year and a half later rather suddenly and quickly. It ate him up alive. We apologized to each other as brothers should and asked him to forgive me for uttering those words that I felt cursed him but also myself...He forgave me. Till the day I die I have to live with that. If you truly Love someone, please tell them si, no matter your differences. We fought but I Loved my Brother Fernando deeply. The Music Lives On Because Of Him...hed of wanted me to continue but for a long time I couldnt. Everything I do Musically is dedicated to my brother Fernando. The last thing we did together was watch a sunrise while I was in Massachusetts and he was in the hospital in Florida. Thats why every morning I watch the Sunrise before anything else. Its symbolic of the last thing we did together. He died the next day in his Brandon, Florida home as I consented to end his pain. :(
