A great shame. John, he lived across the river from me, outside of Woodstock NY, and was quite a celebrity. Woodstock is full of musical greats; I play there occasionally and run into some amazing folks.

Trivia: For anyone not familiar, Woodstock (the village loaded with musicians) is an hour and an half away from the site of the 1969 Woodstock Festival in Bethel Woods, NY.

I once played a PDQ Bach record for my 7th grade General Music class. They didn’t get the joke, nor the sophistication of his work. But I was on the floor.
