Origami No. 28. "Note to a friend".

"Your recent behavior perplexes me. I am vexed.

In my heart of hearts, I have given you all that I have - the best that I can offer you. You have always given me the same. I deserve your continued full measure of respect. Anything less is a revelation of your true self, which would be against your character and not what I've come to expect from you. I am profoundly disappointed in you.

And yet, I still love you."

- "Note to a friend", May 2010

Mason is in the R&R Hall of Fame with the group, Traffic. He also wrote the song, "Feelin' Alright", that Joe Cocker made famous.

Here's Mason singing this song in his heydey.
