I used to see Rusty playing in Marin County with his band, something like The Happy Valley String Quartet. I drew a poster or two for the band. I then ran into him in Portland Oregon when he was playing with NRPS - we briefly chatted. For some reason I decided to look him up today to discover his passing. Condolences and love to his family - he was a shining individual!
