And of course it's also great to see you're keeping all the Bill Dixon stuff going as well. <br /><br />I hope that we'll get to meet one of these days (over in Belgium probably) and with a bit of luck maybe we'll even get the chance to play together.<br /><br />All the best - Joejoeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15282590943897598903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31515714.post-17156778464272258892011-08-06T23:13:26.551-04:002011-08-06T23:13:26.551-04:00Thanks for the encouraging words, Joe.

In fact, his mother knew my grandfather. They were both Communists in the 1930s, and Gene gave me a photo of the two of them in group where they sung (probably the Internationale).<BR/><BR/>People like Gene don't come 'round often in this life, and his passing makes me painfully aware just how special he was.Sholo Motohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02319901359432480245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31515714.post-60425586358995780742008-10-13T19:56:00.000-04:002008-10-13T19:56:00.000-04:00Nicely written, both.Gene was a true friend of art...Nicely written, both.<BR/><BR/>Gene was a true friend of artists. He appreciated the work that goes into creativity, and he loved the people who are drawn into creative circles.<BR/><BR/>Always supportive. One thing i remember about working with Gene is that he always seemed to forgive me and forget about it when i said something that maybe i should have thought about first. <BR/><BR/>He was a kind and generous presence. <BR/><BR/>We've been missing you in Hartford, Gene.

A tough act to follow, but I will try.<BR/><BR/>Stephen, you are so "right on the money."<BR/><BR/>Yes, Gene was good for people. <BR/><BR/>I met Gene while applying for a grant, in 1976 when American music was the rage because of the bucentenial. <BR/><BR/>We were asking for support to record the David Diamond Sonata, a master piece, that was yet to be recorded at that point, or recorded since.<BR/>Gene worked hard to convince the people that this had merit and it was an important piece to document. <BR/><BR/>Ever since, we remained close friends. We got even closer when we moved to Tucson. We shared many joyful times together ( his 80th birthday party that Jessica organized, Max's Bar Mitzvah, and many difficult times. Losing Jessica,his beloved daughter, losing my wonderful Mother In Law are such times that come to mind. Gene came to every concert we did here in Tucson and always gave an admirable critique.<BR/><BR/>What I will miss most by his absence here on Earth, is that I would have to imagine what Gene would say.<BR/><BR/>Gene was a true and trusted friend. He always told the truth as he saw it. The fact that he loved you, did not diminish his objectivity and honesty.<BR/><BR/>If we did not speak in a few days he would call and say: <I>" I was thinking about you. Every thing OK?"</I><BR/><BR/>His departure, marks the end of an era.<BR/><BR/>Gene, you will forever live in my heart. I love you Gene. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Sanda in Tucson, AZsandatucsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17614491519944741923noreply@blogger.com
