Dear Raphael~ I shall truly miss you~ From your upright Bass playing contribution to the loft Jazz styles of the mid 60's to your scholarly pursuit presenting Charles Russel~ I'm so sorry you passed away so early in your late years~ I loved playing guitar with you at Bear Canyon Senior Citizens Center ABQ NM~ You were a truly brilliant individual~ I hope more of your contemporaries will post their blessings here~ Until another time my good friend~ T

Oh no. I just saw this. He was such a beloved friend. A brother. I miss him, though I hadn't seen him in forever. He used to come to our house and read to our children. One time, a rocking chair broke beneath him. He laughed, of course.
