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.

19.  You  (and me too!)

        have heard lots of his work without knowing it,  

I was amazed at the Boxed set...a huge amount of work !

        It is going to be a huge Jazz Funeral for sure.

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.

I hadn't heard of that.  I know that if you put atoms in a very strong magnetic field that you can use radio waves to flip them to align with the magnet.  This is the basis of MRI.
