I can't believe this Bob, but Nicholas gave us the same stare. I will never forget carrying him to the car for the last visit to the vet, and soon as I laid him down, he lifted his head and just looked at me. For years I really never quite knew if he was saying good by and thanking us for relieving his pain, or was it "why have you forsaken me": In our hearts we did feel it was the former. He was fourteen and a half years. Sorry folks, but I needed Bob to hear this similarity. very unusual for strangers to have close connections and so much of it. My friend Mike Slater says that about him and I very often. it's just amazing.
Even, I looked in Larry's book about the break up of Jim and Alex. The only thing said is it concerned a business deal gone bad. No details were ever given other that Jim to publicly say, he would not have anything to do with Alex or his songs after that. Speaking of Alex and his so called song writing ability, there was suspicion that he really never wrote many songs at all. It was public knowledge that he took advantage of starving song writers and would offer little cash to get the rights and put his name on it. Never proven in court but word on the street says he was never completely honest with people, as Jim would eventually find out.
