Mose Allison RIP, will be missed by his fans!

Singer, Pianist & song writer extraordinaire Mose Allison passed away peacefully at his home on November 15, 2016.
I still remember fondly his performance at Pizza Express in London many years ago which lasted into the wee hours of the morning (read Guardian article)!



So many great artists have left us (poorer) this year!
His many humorous and hard biting songs  
- always a wry commentary on the human condition -
 will be missed in a time we'll need them more than ever!
Thank you for your witty lyrics and all those great tunes 
like "Young Man's Blues" you played for us, Mose!
