It was only a short time we knew each other, but you stood out from the first time we met. Performing and recording with you was almost as much of an honor as hanging out with you in your home and meeting your wonderful family. I will keep your memory alive and well here in New York, and next time I get up to Maine I'll tip a glass your way as we dig into a couple lobsters... Blessings to you and yours! -Sean Harkness
