In Memoriam



Nick Ashford, veteran singer and songwriter best remembered alongside his wife and duet partner, Valerie Simpson [Ashford & Simpson], died last night after a long battle with throat cancer. He was 70.

Today is also the tenth anniversary of the death of one of my boys, Alonzo Person. I'd like to take this time to remember him as well. RIP "Zo." #goodtimes



And in my perusal of the local upstate newspaper this morning, I was made aware of another death I hadnt known about. A lady I worked closely with and befriended a few years ago died of cancer last month, at 52. She was pretty popular on the local jazz circuit, and I remember how she was so in love with this one crystal piece I sold her, back when I was doing Partylite. *smile* RIP Janet.
