I'm very sorry to hear or Ron's passing. He was a great guy and a fine musician (I played many gigs with him in Chicago). He was also a music copyist (in the days before computer notation programs) and copied several of my arrangements.

RIP, Ron..........

R.I.P. Ron.

Unfortunately, Ron was not doing a whole lot of playing when I was in Chicago back in the early '90s, so I didn't get to hear him. I sure heard a lot about him, and it was always with great admiration.

And such beautiful copy work! There's something comforting about reading hand-written charts done by somebody who really new how to do it. It's really a disappearing craft.

Here's to a master!
