My old friend - I miss him

Postby Ken Byng » Fri Jul 17, 2015 8:47 pm

Here is a picture of my long time friend Maurice Anderson. We had known each other since the mid 1970's, and I took this photo of him a year before his untimely passing. He was a giant of the instrument, and was highly respected by many of the top players of all time. He used to make a fuss of my wife when we met up, and my wife used to get on really well with Reece's mother who I believe is still alive. My trips to Dallas are not the same now, and I miss the guy more than I can say. He was simply a genius.
