Re: [microsound] [OT] Elvin Jones RIP



Have seen EJ on a number of occasions, some more succesful than others.
But, like all, remain in awe of his recorded work with JC.  I could not
imagine a more gracious tribute than offered by Kurt, so I will simply
second that emotion, we're "looking forward to the next time."

Perhaps we might all question again the matter of how many ways there are to
count to four.
