[AGL] Max

[Gerry]

Yesterday afternoon I drove into town listening to XM radio. They played one Max record after another. A couple of them were tracks that I had not heard before, incredible mastery of the independence factor (each limb playing a different line). 

I feel like I lost an uncle, someone who was very supportive of me in my youth, a high standard to compare all others with. But on the other hand he is just the latest of my early heroes to pass on. I guess that as we age our ability to handle the deaths of others grows easier. What the hell, I will outlive most all of them, and yet the music goes on. In the final analysis I am glad that I was born at a time when the music was being formed and great artists were emerging to show the way...and that for a few years, in the backwoods of Texas in little joints with others of similar mind, I played it too and helped to spread the beauty.
