Oh, dear. This news came as a most unpleasant surprise. Another soul has gone too soon. This time it’s most saddening for me to report that we have lost one of our dear and beloved industry colleagues. I’ve always enjoyed Art’s articles for his wit humor, unaltered firm solitude standings and most importantly for his genuine passion for music. Art, your writings were always an inspiration and a most encharging lyrical sanctuary to visit for regaining my focus. You’ll be dearly missed. Godspeed…
