d. boon




   he was my best friend since we were thirteen and the reason I started and still to this day play music. his life was cut way too short at twenty seven. I think of him every day. his spirit lives on in the work I continue to do. folks ask what kind of bass player am I. my answer is "I'm d. boon's bass player."
