I'm one of the fortunate that really got to know Ms. Horn for a season.
She was wickedly funny and seriously all about 'the music'. I will forever cherish her 'deposits' into my soul. I am forever changed for knowing her and having her treat me as a 'son' for that brief period in time.
If you know Shirley's music, you will recognize the subject of the post as a title to one of her best recordings. It's a special part of our journey, together, and one of my fondest memories how such a simple title could cause such a ruckus inside her label.
'We won that one, didn't we Shirley ?!!'
Rest, Now. Your work is done.
I will honor your memory, with dignity.
