Saw the quartet in concert in the 60s, when they did a lot of college concerts. Eugene wright was impressive, and impassive. I don’t think he moved at all, except for his hands, just stood there and made his bass actually make music.
Listening right now with headphones and realizing how much better the world is because it had Dave in it. Especially while we were all alive at the same time.
Thanks, Dave. You made it better.
Thanks, Cuttle. You noticed.
Cuttlefish are shy and elusive creatures; when necessary, they hide in their
own ink. This particular cuttlefish has chosen as its habitat the comment
threads of science, religion, and news sites, where it feeds on the opinions
of those who are emboldened by the cloak of internet anonymity. Cuttlefish
is an atheist and a skeptic, and is madly, passionately in love with science.

I admit I’m biased towards anything with blue in the title, but that’s wonderful in every way.

And there’s “Unsquare Dance”, which separates those WITH rhythm from the rest of us.

I’m with Tsu. I remember when my classmates were all swooning over the Beatles and I’m playing Unsquare Dance over and over.
