I wish we had played more. There were many times I played with Claire at her apartment, sometimes just me, several times with Ed, at least once with Andy O'Neill on drums.

And there were gigs I did with Claire with Dave Miller on drums.

She was the real thing, an amazing person and an incredible musical force. Every time I got to play with her I felt so inspired and energized.

If only I'd met her earlier and played with her more. We lost her to cancer on October 22, 2024.

You should buy her records, especially Vuvu for Frances, which I think was her last record and one that I know was very important to her.
