They make me scream of fright.

My first song with my Daddy.


We are extremely lucky that all we have to do is play your music and hear your voice and guitar singing and speaking to us to ease are sadness and let in joy.

You are shining like a diamond made from an ole piece of coal. Shining more brightly than the rays of the sun. The light is so luminous it seems to glow or...

WOW!!!! Where to start?
As I grow older, death comes more often. This one, totally unexpected, and so much I had yet to do to spend time and visit with my uncle "Elio". I never made it to Jacksonville.
I owe so much of my life to my uncle. My guitar skills, which are so minor in comparison. I can play rhythym guitar, and I was blessed to have gotten my Uncles' Guild Acoustic (which will shortly be re-conditioned). I remember as a teen, playing his Ovation the week he...

Dearest Elliot,
We've known each other since I was an awkward teenage girl with a timid voice that you recognized as something special. From that point on, you convinced, pushed and challenged me to pursue the dream of music. Your friendship, generosity and passion were just a few things out of so many that I will miss.

To Missy and our dear Cousins....Our hearts go out to you in this time of loss. He was planning our next reunion. I hope we have one in his honor.
So very sorry to have missed his funeral. We were with you all day in our hearts. Love, Aunt Lil, Nicole, Evan, and Surelle

My Little Brother,
We grew up together' We played together and had fun together. I have wonderful memories of you 60+years worth. I will miss you. I loved you so much as I know you did me. MAKE YOUR MUSIC UP THERE! We will listen to it down here.

My Elliot,

I brought your body back to New York today. The rain began. The city cried. You should not have come home so soon for it to be the last time you would ever come home. And as you have sung to me, my "blue eyes were crying in the rain."

You were all I asked G-d to give to me. Talented. Intelligent. Funny. Loving. Generous. A Believer. Worthy of my devotion, honor and fidelity. You were everything.

I wonder if you knew how many people were influenced by your...
