Souvenirs is the one that does it for me in this sad time. Memories can’t be boughten. Amen to that. Would it be that collectively as a society we were more closely aligned with John’s gentle, compassionate view of the human condition, with its sadness, humor and beauty. I could go on for hours about the many times I saw him in venues large and small. The people I attended these shows with. The milestones of my life that passed with each show. And yes, the souvenirs I retain. But this is not the time. His death is another reminder of all we are losing.
