    I am very sorry to hear that. ! I didn’t know him but I’m sure he had friends and family that are around!!
    It’s not easy at this time !!! I’ve been to enough funerals the next I go to will be my own but I hope not for a very long time !! By the way no not married either just single . I live in a town of 180 people and I’m 57 so not much of a catch around here !! Also I like my women older not in school yuck I don’t understand??!!!! Getting back to his friends I wish you and his family the best there are no words that will help maybe just a jester !
    My Condolences!!!

    One of my favorite jazz artists.

    Sad.

    89 years old, though.

    Would that I could live to 89 & leave a legacy like his.
    Truly a life well lived.

    Thanks for the sounds & the feelings.

    A major loss, yet his legacy is strong.

    I'll never forget the time in 1984 when Weather Report performed at the Grand Circus Theater in Detroit. Myself and about eight other friends, H.S. bandmates attended the concert. There was a point where the band was just grooving and I was so into it. I was rocking back and forth in my seat and just happen to turn to the left to see my buds rocking back in forth in unison right along with me. We were all under music's spell and Weather Report took us along for the ride that night. Great times!
