Who are these kids, anyway?

Co-Existence was playing tonight in the village at Towpath Cafe, and my daughter suggested I go down and catch their show. We have their CD, and I do like it, so I decided to go down. Ryan Johnson on guitar, Danny Nguyen on sax, Colin Fleming on bass, and Dan Knorr on drums - that's who those kids are, anyway. "Co-Existence is an original musical project, blending aspects of funk, jazz, rock, and soul. The band hails from Rochester NY, and is comprised of students from SUNY Fredonia and the University of Buffalo." That's what their MySpace - http://www.myspace.com/coexistence07 - says. Check them out; they're worth a listen. They could be big someday.

yours in music,

Bad news . . . again.

I found out late. Peter Grammatico died. At 40. With a wife and small child who is not even two years old. I didn't really even know him, but my heart breaks for him and for his family.

Peter reached out to me through my MySpace and asked me to come and listen to his band, Chasing Giants. I did. They were fun. I never even got the chance to have a conversation with him, though. He seemed like a warm and loving human being.

We are at a loss, again. My sympathies to his family and friends; may he be singing with the angels.
