My mother, Marsha Jones LaFosse, passed away from cancer on Thursday, February 23rd, 2006, at the age of 67.
At some point I’ll talk more about her life and her extensive work as a professional musician and music teacher, when I’m better able to wrap my head around the immensity of all of this. In the meantime, if you have enough interest in my own work to be reading, then please take a moment to think of her, and thank her for all of the enormous support and encouragement she gave to me all through my life. It’s no exaggeration to say that I probably wouldn’t have started playing guitar, or making my own music, without her.
I love and miss her so, so much…
