Bud's Family: Bud and I never met or spoke, but I knew him well with his near-weekly letters for years as he requested songs, related what he had heard me play and say, and talked of his life. I missed his correspondence, but just thought he had gotten busy. When I started promoting an all request show for 2/24 , and after 3 weeks. I did not hear from him, I decided to check the obits. My worst fear was realized. On the 24th I'll dedicate the show, which is on from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., to Bud. Maybe the signal will reach him in Heaven. Or maybe you could visit his grave and tell him what I'll be doing in his honor and memory, and that I miss him. Johnny Rabbitt KMOX 1220 Olive St. St. Louis MO 63103 314 353-7237.
