R.I.P. Gene Elders

[Dub]

I just learned that fiddler Gene Elders has passed. He died over a month ago but evidently, I haven't kept up.

Gene had a remarkable career, most of which I didn't follow. But one night long, long ago our band was holding forth at our usual spot on Rosevelt Road in Glen Ellyn, IL, When a young fellow we didn't know walked in with his fiddle and asked if he could sit in with us. His name was Gene Elders. I may still have a recording of some of that night. It was great fun.

It sucks when good people die, especially when we know them and are fond of them.

It means that we are subconsciously and emotionally thinking of them even if we do not realize it. When someone so important to us dies, we have to remember that there will come a time.......
