Like many here, I didn't really know much about him, but one thing I will remember forever:

A few years back, a few of us submitted mp3 files for a collection of Christmas carols. I think Gary Curran hosted and moderated.

I submitted a rather odd and completely forgettable version, but fortunately for all of us Howard sent his steel rendition of Silent Night. I was stunned by the beauty of his rendition, and how it captured the essence of this age old carol.

I didn't have the good sense to keep a copy of it when I acquired my new computer, and I would greatly appreciate receiving it if anyone has it.

This is my very fond memory of Howard Tate.

His music lives on.
