Just a fantastic performer and nice person. I hope he’s well and just hasn’t been able to get a message out. There have been so many sad stories, and many more to come – I hope this isn’t one of them.</p>

<p>Why is this being discussed here?</p>

<p>ummm. Because it’s the parent cafe, and it involves an aspect of Hurricane Katrina and one of the legends of American music. And because I felt like posting it. Sorry if that irritated you.</p>

<p>Thanks Sybbie! I was trying to think of a response that would do Curmudgeon proud, but I was just too annoyed.</p>
