I am deeply sorry to hear of Howard's demise. I knew him in L.A.

Howard served the folk community by introducing many newcomers as well as veterans. Howard was a generous and pleasant man and his appreciation for folk music gave a voice to many. Roz, I am deeply sorry. There are so many of us who will have fond memories and offer gratitude for Howard's contribution. I will treasure my copies of "Folkscene" magazine in remembrance.

One memory for me was to appear on his Folkscene show with Don McClean. I played guitar with Don as he introduced a new song, I think for the first time heard on the air or so Don said, it was "Starry Starry Night" otherwise known as "Vincent". Don had not been heard so much before Howard introduced him on his show.


What a sad loss! Howard will be really missed.
