Not sure what to say?

I was so sad to hear of Jay's passing. My condolences to Audrey and family. I last saw him in 2018, though we really had not seen each other much since the 80's, some of my fondest memories of those days involve the music he was making, and my part in getting it out. I consider myself luckier, and my life richer for the time I got to spend with him back then.

i would like to thank him for support on one of the hardest things i have ever done, Race across america . in 2015 i spent a week with him riding mountains 4 months before my race and felt like i was dying. it was the first time i ever really rode my bike on a mountain. I remember sitting on the steps of the RTR, and telling him that was a fool to think i could do that race with 187 thousand foot of climbing and there was no way i would finish it. and he gave me an hour long pep talk...

Dear Barbara, Steve, Robin, Audrey & families,
We are so very sorry for your loss. We send you strength and love during this difficult time.

I met Jay back in 2003. Audrey and my good friend Karen were long time friends. I saw the Rambling Shadows several times with Jay playing his trusty telecaster singing along while Scott Wingo played lead. T.N.T.H is still on my playlist. Karen and I visited their home on the mountain in WV. The Barn had just been completed and Jay told me that this was his dream. Jay passed away doing what he loved. He will be missed by all. Audrey, I'm so sorry for your loss and I send my condolences to the...

I always thought Jay was great.

My heart is saddened by Jay's loss. It was a pleasure to have known him and have him for a friend. Deepest sympathy goes out to Audrey and all of the family. May you find peace in the difficult days ahead.

Jay and I reconnected about a year ago after a 20 year hiatus when I left DC. We exchanged endless emails over the past year – we were making up for lost time and there was so much to cover. Of all the thoughts that we shared, the one that struck me the most was how he told me he was still writing songs and “putting them out into the void”. I took this to mean he knew they might not have wide dissemination. But Jay wasn't concerned with how many were listening to him, he always just...

Audrey -
I am so saddened by this loss. I loved reconnecting with Jay & meeting you, during your visit to New Orleans. Jay was truly unique and he will be missed by so many. I wish you peace in these most difficult days.

Audrey and Family..

I'm so sorry for your incredible loss. Audery I know I have not seen you or Jay in years, but sometimes those days feel like yesterday and sometimes I wish they were. Jay was hands down one of the coolest human beings I have ever known. His perspective was unique, honest, and admirable. I always respected him for his ability to be compassionte and kind yet genuine at the same time...a gift not many people have. I hope that in the days and years ahead that you...
