As I'm sure you all remember, a little over a year ago, Gary Persons was killed in an auto crash. He was a member of this list, an author, and an exellent composer.
At the risk of sounding crass, what is being done to preserve his music? He had posted several pieces on the Finale Showcase, for jazz band and other ensembles, including a sonata for flugelhorn, all wonderful music. It cannot be downloaded, because he had blocked that function, undoubtedly wanting to sell his work, and rightly so. It would please me greatly to be able to lay hands on some of these pieces, legally of course. The work of so great a talent should continue to be performed. Does anybody know if he had an artistic executor, or something like that? Thanks, Horace Brock "Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded--here and there, now and then--are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as 'bad luck'." -Robert A.
