Default Devastating.....

I never met John in person, I exchanged a couple tweets with him but on a daily basis I looked forward to his tweets on music and everything. We shared a love for rock group THE BAND he shared so much good music, which was a joy of his. He was a joy, this is very, very sad. Condolences to his family and myriad of people who's live he touched. RIP

Still can't process this. Sometimes your mind will fundamentally reject the idea of moving forward with a new reality. It really does feel like the gate will refuse to open for the Derby without the presence of John Asher at Churchill. My condolences to his family and I know this is a devastating loss to all who knew him.

I think it was a beautiful tribute, going around Churchill one more time,
playing My Old Kentucky Home, the outriders riding by the hearse and all
the people on the rail...and of course brilliant sunshine RIP
