but they stated it was not a funeral service. This was a celebration of life.
My only problem was the late start. I don't do late.

My intro to him was about '64. 'Fingertips' was on the jukebox at the
snack bar where I used to surf. (Barber's Point, Oahu). I would play it over and over.
Lots of stuff that may seem tame these days was wild and crazy back when......

Our band does a version of 'Higher Ground'.
Stevie's later compositions have great horn parts (think 'Sir Duke

Great arrangements.
