I know. I lost my best friend to cancer 6 years ago. And with all great friends, we shared so much music, including falling for Sharon Jones together and seeing her many times.

So sorry Dean, may I offer heartfelt condolences to you brother. I know how exactly you feel. I lost my sister to it as well.

RIP.

And condolences, Rick and Dean. F*ck cancer. A friend of mine lost his wife to it this year. I'm sure we've all known too many people who've been affected, and even if it's cured, it casts a long shadow.

So sick of 2016...

Thanks Alan. It's been awhile (years wise) but as you said the "shadow" is long & at times very dark.

Very sad. She had a voice that grabbed your heart and soul. Rest in peace, Ms. Jones.

What a voice. And, I hate to use the cliche, but she was so courageous and funny.

RIP, honey. Safe travels.
