Sparky.....the penny just dropped! I didn’t recognize the name.....Norbert Ludewig. Suddenly I DID recognize it. I didn’t know he passed. We spoke a few times on the phone back in late 2012 and I was under the impression he was in recovery. It must have come back unexpectedly and with a vengeance.

I feel bad both for you AND I feel bad for Norbert. I never met him but he sounded like a very nice fellow on the phone. And.....he had a terrific reputation both as a musician AND as a decent human being.

As I thought about it, listening to this beautiful version of Danny Boy, that phrase came back in my thoughts. "Only the good die young." I reflected over that. Why DO the good people die young?

Please add my condolences also. The local music scene here lost a great talent and.....a nice guy.
