Honest Things

Tupper Saussy died last week.

I'd only recently added a link to his blog

His thoughts on Chinese shipping containers is interesting reading.

In fact, everything he's ever written is interesting reading.

The world has lost a spectacular talent.
A cultured, elegant, ferocious warrior.
I have lost a friend.

Please do a Google search for Tupper Saussy.
Read his books. Visit his website and the greatest pleasure of all, listen to his music. His new CD, released the week he died, The Chocolate Orchid Piano Bar, is the most charming and commercial release ever.

His earlier recordings are heady jazz. My husband was the bassist on Tupper's early releases and was also co-owner of the record label, Monument.

Rhino recently put out a compilation of select cuts that is a 'must have."

Enjoy yourselves. Life is short.
