Well, there's a memorial service (or, rather, a memorial pigout)
scheduled for this Saturday. Odetta and Vince Martin are rounding up
the music people and Jimmy Harrison and Bruce Solotoff
<bsol...@pb.net> are contacting the rest. Between the music and
the friends, I'm sure we're in for a most interesting afternoon.
Apparently, we have carte blanche to play, sing, whatever, so if you
plan to come, bring your instrument of choice. This is more of a
goodbye party/celebration of Tex's life than a somber memorial. I'm
going. It seems to be shaping up to quite a shindig.

It came to pass in Howard Beach. While a dismal pall settled over New
York City and monstrous airliners slid, thundering, out of the skies, a
group of hardy souls gathered to pig out on Chinese food and spilled a
bit of wine but no tears for Tex Konig. To eat is human; to stuff,
divine and we did the best we could while telling Tex stories and
catching up on the last 30 years or so. Terrible the way young idealists
become cranky ol' farts.
It came to pass and we all thought that Tex would have enjoyed,
Snookums.
