In the grand realm of it all, Mudcat is a small part of this man's life. Yet his contributions here, which touched and enlightened us around the globe, cannot be measured. There are many that have shared wisdom with us, many that have enriched our knowledge and love of the music, but rare is the one who has been so consistent and giving of their hard earned knowledge. This was a gentleman, and a gentle man. Good on ya, Malcolm, thanks for all you did for us. Your voice will be heard in all those graced by your scholarship, in many lands and for many years to come.

We are a poorer family today, friends.
