Writing for The Syncopated Times reminds me of the experience of being alive. We go from experiencing the joy and ecstasy of the music we love and the friendships in our community and on the other side we all too often these days, also experience the depth of sadness and grief that comes when we lose a dear friend.
Mary Grace Lanese in Kansas City sadly informed me that Lucille Salerno died July 3rd in Columbia, Missouri. My response was like Peter Lundberg’s when he received the news…just a single startled word, “What?” Diane Capps, Lucille’s long-time friend shared with me all the adventures she had with Lucille over the years. Diane mentioned that Lucille would have been 89 on July 18th this year.
