I gasped out loud when I read the obituary. The shame of the internet is everyone seems so close but you assume they are far away. Both my children were born in the same hospital Bruce died in. I still live here. He was a neighbor and yet it never occurred to me I could have met him in person! All the little private messages he so generously sent me whenever I asked questions on the list about tune histories, and we never once wrote, "where do you live?"
Ah, and now it's too late.
I just checked his website and there is a memorial service scheduled for Friday afternoon. I'm planning to attend.
