I respect LW greatly because he sowed seed in my life musically, that has taken me to where I am at today. I can't help but call him "Brother Wolfe" when we communicate, because that's what he was when I last worked under him years ago. I just call him that out of habit, with no other thought in mind!
I am aware of all the things that happened at JCM. In fact, I have a cousin who has a story that would blow your mind! But being a 'friend' doesn't mean that I condone or endorse his lifestyle. I'm just being a friend.
