My father- Ira-passed away 12/26/11... Many fond memories to cherish from over the years, especially the musical ones- i. e. Bob Marley and the Wailers at the Lenox, Ma music shed,  Patti Smith
reading poetry and doing a sound check , Dexter Gordon steadying himself on a mic stand-too drunk to stand on his own and Charles Mingus playing from a wheelchair in his last days, all at a small club in Woodstock, NY

All of which I had the pleasure of experiencing with him, due to his kindness and generosity
 
RIP

very sorry

how about a couple of tickets on me to cheer you up...we'll say it's from him

Thank you everyone for your kind words on this sad occasion

Seth-

I can't tell how much I appreciate your message.  It brought a smile to my face and tears to my eyes.
What a wonderful gesture. Your club has been like a second home to me over the years.  (Actually the site of the first date for my wife and I-  Mekons in July of 1988 at the old place.) As well as countless other "special" shows over the years including the 30th anniversary show.

I would like to take you up on your gracious offer!

Ridiculous amounts of soul and R&B deaths lately.
