Pianist and educator Ellis Marsalis Jr., trumpeter Wallace Roney, and guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli
succumbed to complications caused by the novel coronavirus

you right. age doesn't seem to be what it used to be. then I think back, when folks had mortality in the 40s. always a reason to live life to its fullest, trust me on this one, but not matter what age you make the years will all have BLOWN right by. this is how time moves. and we are lucky for all we get, period.

Yes, Ivy did some good stuff.   Damn, he was only 52 - wrote some terrific melodies.

Speaking of, a friend shared this awesome track that I somehow missed. Robbie went thru a really dreary period that shook me loose and I never really picked him back up. NOTE: Robbie is alive and well AFAIK, this is a tribute to FoW's songwriting. Tribute, mockery, homage, I dunno, really. Still Awesome.

The friend who shared this also said he hadn't heard it before, and he's the one who introduced me to Robbie Fulks. Another in the exchange said "The reason you have never heard this before is because I was the one in charge of promoting it when it came out."

 Steve really didn't like working for Yep Roc.

They are all sad, but this death particularly breaks my heart. Someone who gave life to so many, particularly the twins, conjoined at the head.

Agree, the whiny players from every sport who deign to kneel for or disrespect the flag of the country that gives them a home where they can earn such a living, don't understand reality nor economics. No socialist nor communist country has had even a TINY TASTE. Many on this site seem socialist. IMHO they are fools.
