[Harp-L] Re: RIP Gary Primich

[Tom Ball <havaball@xxxxxxx>]

What sad news this is, not only for the harp world but for the world. 
Gary was a brilliant player but more importantly a friendly, outgoing 
and VERY funny guy who could keep you in stitches for hours.  Last 
time I saw him (we spent several days teaching together at Kerrville 
a few months back,) he was seemingly in good health and taking care 
of himself -- we spent three hours in a bar swapping road stories, 
and he drank only 7-up. He seemed upbeat about life and was excited 
about his new CD.

49.  <sigh>  But then, it ain't the years in one's life -- it's the 
life in one's years. Gary lived life to the hilt, and the world is a 
far better place for his having been amongst us.

See ya down the road, brother -- save me a place in the band.
