I never knew you, Ira. In fact, it took 16 years after your passing for me to find out about you. But I found something of yours tonight, and the world led me to your music. You had real talent, and I wish you'd been given more time to share it. I hope you'll accept the condolences of a stranger. Rest easy, Ira.
