"We have just discovered an important note from space. The Martians plan to throw a dance for all the human race." Steve Rappaport: "This is funny! A discovery of any note from space would likely be the most important in human history. To say that we've discovered an important note implies that we could have discovered an unimportant note. It's just ridiculous. And then the idea that they want to throw a dance for us ... well ... seriously silly." In memory of the Ran-Dells. 19.09.2023

something drew me to look at Steven's Obituary again this morning, which last year was the date of the Memorial Service.
have thought of him many times during this past year, and send again thoughts and prayers to Julie and Candyce and children.
love and peace,

I never knew Steve personally, but have been touched by his story and what he offered to some of the best music that we will have the privilege of hearing. He was an artist and will be dearly missed as such, and as so much more.
