Stupid 2016. She was way too young to go. Saw her in 2006 at Kings in Raleigh when they didn't have AC which 0% impinged on the Dap Kings performance. She gave me a hug afterwards when I thanked her for the performance. Such energy. Such a talent. She will be missed. There's a video of her playing i...

Got to see him play a gig with James Blood Ulmer and Bill Laswell. Umar Bin Hassan of Last Poets read for an opener. Knitting Factory basement. Fantastic.
