The first time I met Andy was in Cambridge, Central Square. He had a house with crooked walls - It felt like magic in here. Catfish Black was practicing and I was astounded at the humber of instruments he played SO WELL. He was a wonderful person and I will never, ever forget hom. xoxoxo. Jayme Turner
