God's Band Just Keeps Getting Better And Better!!

 It was always late on Thursday nights when they came to play at Red River. At a time when not many people were around but die hard fans would wipe the sleep from their eyes and stagger to their computers and come and listen to LizAday Solo & Xenno Moonwall. The Red River staff never missed a show. It became almost a religion for us to come to listen, dance and laugh with them. Every show brought us our favorite Liz and Xen songs but they always brought something new to try out on us and we loved it.


Yesterday Xenno Moonwall, Brian Eckels, passed away. But only after spending the night playing music; just the way you would expect a talented musician to do. Liz and Xen played at Red River for over a year. When I think back on those nights; I can remember Liz doing most, well all, of the talking,  and Xen quietly going up to the stage to play. I think it took nearly that entire year for Xen to say more than, 'Hello Night'. He did not need words. His guitar did the talking for him.


But beyond the music. Beyond the aura of people who live by entertaining others; there was so much more to these two people. Just tonight someone described their relationship as being 'perfect'. Yes they were perfect together. It showed in their music and it showed in they way that they interacted with each other. Just Perfect!

I do not think I will ever walk into Red River, on a Thursday night, and not have an image if them playing on our stage. We were truly blessed to have had the opportunity to witness them together.


Liz, there are no words that will comfort you tonight. Please know that the pain you feel right now is shared by your fans, your friends and all who have gotten to know and love you and Xen.


God Bless You! Yes the music has gotten better in heaven tonight!!!
