My cousin used to live in Williamsburg, Virginia adjacent to a huge building site being developed by the Hornsby Construction Company. When I asked if this was a relative of Bruce Hornsby, my cousin indicated that it was Bruce’s father’s company. Thus, anytime I hear a tune by “the other Bruce,” I always think of my cousin Father John Ridgell who passed away in 2009 just three months before Buzzy did. Ten years older than me, John was like my big brother. Ironically, John’s father Manny was several years older than Buzzy and he too was a mentor and advisor for Buzzy as John was for me. Here is my favorite Hornsby tune and video featuring several shots of Williamsburg and its environs such as William and Mary College. Lyric-wise there’s an abortion theme that makes the song a little less upbeat than it seems and leads me to think that maybe I should have posted this on 22 January. But hey, walk on.
Bruce, Father John and Roe v. Wade
