Right before Covid, I had my first experience with suicide when a work buddy of mine gassed himself with his car in a closed garage. He didn't know it, but he was a huge inspiration to me continuing to plug away at this music thing. About 6 months later, my wife's best friend from Kindergarten hung herself in her closet. Suicide is a disease we've let fester for far too long. When your friends/family are struggling mentally, please don't be the one to ignore it and hope it goes away. It won't. more
