Picture of John I took at the Doheny Blues Festival. He will be missed.

I understand that it was congestive heart failure brought on by his long term adult-onset diabetes. Another man done gone.

Just saw the news and am very sad to hear this news. I will miss him dearly, such a gentleman in the truest sense. Every year at P.T. I made a point to go to at least one of his classes, just to see his smiling face and listen to his stories... I am glad to have known him.
Brian Terribly sad! I just cried out loud in the little public library in my old home town when I read Peter's first post.
Playin' with all the greats now, John! Wax oddenda
I STILL think that this should be in the main forum... I only found this thread when my first posting went missing and, after much digging, FINALLY found it here! Let's not be selfish!!
Peter B. Well, um, I agree actually. Apart from the slight motion sickness I experience as posts are moved around while I'm posting... Cephas is laughing at us, somewhere.
Gary, those are truly great photos, especially the hat salute. Nice article and video clip from The Richmond Times Dispatch:
