16   In 1976, Cosimo did the final mix on a 45 my first husband and I released.  It was like touching God watching him work.

               I also shop at the grocery store where he used to hold court, his son's run it.

                 He was so genuine and always humble and kind.  

He was seminal in American Music, without him, Rock & Roll would have had very different sound.  

               I have a  2 boxed set (8 cds) on Proper Records, The Cosimo Matassa Story.

              Just looking at the song list gives you an idea.

yes Jazz Funerals are beautiful.  

When the brass band plays so mournfully to the cemetery, dirges and 'take a closer walk with thee' et al.

Then, after the burial, when they 'cut the body loose' and play 'Saints' and 'I'll Fly Away' and other rousing numbers

and you are out there marching, dancing, drinking, crying, and laughing at mortality.  

It is a great celebration.

I need to ferret away some ducats for mine.

I've marched in two for dearly departed and have watched a bunch. 

It really gave me a giant dose of mortality and the antidote too.

I think Cosimos is going to be WAY too BIG to march in, probably too big to even find a spot to watch.

For sure it will be filmed.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
