He had a mighty music.

He will be missed--one voice, forever silenced, whose empty chair no one else can claim.

<i>The strings are as still as the blood
But the air still echoes
And then the echoes too fall silent</i>

May his sleep be peaceful and his memory treasured.

For those here in Utah, Mark Cantor (fellow whistler and box player) who hosts the 'Fret and Fiddle' program on FM 90 (90.1 FM) sent me this:

**Thanks, Brian. I'll dedicate a radio show to him a week from Sunday.

Mark

His shows are always nice, so tune in if you can. Starts at 7:00 I think.
