Chris Williams

Chris Williams, drummer for Pat McGee Band, died yesterday...I don't know how or why, but that's really not all that important to me at the moment. A large part of my identity seems to have formed from following PMB around during college...making stupid road trips, meeting lots of cool people, hanging out with everybody in the band. Any ambition I've had to make music of my own came from following PMB around as well. Chris wasn't as outgoing as some others in the band, but he always said hi when he saw me and went out of his way to ask me how life was going and thank me for coming to the show. He was very obviously a genuine person, and I felt he deserved a mention here. Rest in peace, Chris.
