That is awful, awful news. I haven't read City of Quartz, but there's a
small contingent of us here in Minneapolis who were hoping to bring
Horace here someday to play. His solo piano work seems to channel the
universe (really the only way I can put it). I'll definitely include a
few things from the "Tapscott Sessions" LPs when I DJ next week - a
small tribute.
