Well. after 75 amazing years,He plays a gig,plays some golf, takes a nap, and passes away in his sleep. Not a bad way to live---not a bad way to go.

p.s.---I once got to fool around in a studio with a 16 track master of an unknown female singer with Ray Brown on bass. I soloed the bass and was blown away at the tone and power of a master musician with a fine instrument captured by a great microphone played back through pro studio monitors! I realized that I had never before really heard what a bass can be!
