David, I will never forget the great times we shared in Little Farms I was glad I got to see you one last time, a year ago for after not seeing you since we were 13 yrs old! I will never forget your smile, laughter, and silly jokes! Rock around Heaven I remember back in the day, when I would come hear you play! You were undefeated as you brought the heat! Practicing until you found that perfect beat! You made great music, Batiste Brothers outstanding band! Y´all were the best...

I met my neighbor, Russ, after Hurricane Katrina. He taught jazz preservation at a time when it seemed our whole culture could be wiped out. His positive energy was so healing. And now this sadness.
