Last night I had the pleasure of meeting Tommy Wells girlfriend Lesa. We had a healing conversation about Tommy, and she brought me his guitar. It was a true honor to get the guitar. She had it wrapped in trash sacs to protect it from the rain. When I got it home I unwrapped it and found to my pleasant surprise that Tommy had rigged some straps on to help carry his load. Tommy felt confined at times and would just take off hitchhiking and hoboing across the country. He carried this guitar with him across New Orleans and Galveston. I'm reminded of the freedom my friend had and would just take when he needed it. He always told me that we all have one life and one better not waste it. Well Tommy did a great job at practicing what he preached. I know the next river he crosses will be the greatest adventure yet. Love you my friend Joshua Lightfoot
