More on Guido

I think most of us, when we pass on from this planet, would like to leave some small thing of value behind. (For me, it’s the books that I write: I hope people continue to find inspiration in my words that cause them to seek higher values in their lives.)
Guido Basso – that marvelous horn player who died so suddenly earlier this week – was a wonderful showman who was the figurehead for many, many years in the annual Jazz Cruise. Those if us close to him agree that he would not want these annual events to come to an end without him being there to guide us. And so, here’s to Mike Murley (saxophone) and Heather Bambrick (vocals) for picking up the baton and agreeing to be the leaders for carrying on with the Jazz Cruise. Yes, we’ll all miss Guido. But with Murles and Heather leading the way, the standards Guido set will be maintained. And that’s a good thing.
