Dear Laura,
What a soft spot we have in our hearts for you and Earle. We met Earle in 1979 when we did a demo for him in LA...many years later we reconnected when he hired us to play at Morningside and a friendship was formed..The world has lost an immense talent and we have all lost a wonderful man..Our heartfelt sympathy to you, Deane and Jim.
With love,
Kal David and Lauri Bono
