OMG, I'm just finding out that John died -- spurred by an email bouncing back. So sorry to hear he's gone. We'd met many years ago in a theater-writing workshop, for which I was an actor.

Mi Mas Sincero Pesame,. Lo conoci por "heartbreaker" y el doble CD editado por el ,"Final Notes".Ayudastes en lo que pudistes a Judy Garland, ahora ya Ella y Tu Juntos En El Cielo. God Bless them together.

Meeting you with Judy at The Beef and Ale House in Boston Changed my life. I am so glad we kept in touch.
