Loss
Don’t think about today friends. Think about every day you were able to spend with little man. Every time you listened to a Cranford Nix song. Every time you made music with him. Every time he played you a Stones song. Every time he made you laugh. Every time he made you want to hit him with something heavy. Every time he bummed a smoke, or a pack as was usually the case.
Cranford Nix, I am very thankful that I knew you. I’m thankful for the friends I’ve made since your passing. I would have never met Fast Mike. Can you imagine a world without that crazy, lovable man?? Its not a world I want to live in. I miss you. I’m not alone. We all miss you. I was just getting to know you again. I wish I had known you better in the end. You told me you had some songs recorded that you wanted to put on the web. They are there, brother. And people are still listening. All over the world. You should be here to see that your songs have value. They endure.
Friends and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I’m so thankful for your friendship. I hope that you are okay and that someone has hugged you today.
Fans of Little Man, I’m glad you are here. I am so happy that you found Cranford’s music. Welcome to the family.
Please remember that although a lot of Cranford’s songs have drug references in them, that drugs are stupid. A mother and father have lost her son. Sisters have lost their brother. Two boys have lost their father. The world has lost a true one of a kind person to drugs.
We’re all that special – you are that special. Please don’t be a rock n roll cliche. It’s not cool. Have fun, but please be careful.

Brian from Treatment Bound sent me a link to a new studio version cover of A Heart That Ain’t Ever Been Pure. I hope you enjoy it.
Here are the guys performing it live! I especially love the Slim Jim Phantom style drummer. Cranford loved The Stray Cats!
