Just for the record, Rita, the Japanese radio show with "Keep on the Sunny Side" pre-dated the Boarding Party by quite a few years. The ones singing with Jonathan on that occasion, in addition to the Japanese DJ, were Andy Wallace and Mike Rivers. It was a remarkable recording.

And a remarkable event. We'd hoped to have more time for informal schmoozing, but kept turning up more stuff that had to be on the "official" program! For me, one of the most affecting moments was the tribute to Elise, the wonderful woman who was JE's caregiver for the last 6 years of his life. She deserves more than any of us can give, for her unselfish devotion and patience.

The "fire-horn looking things" were part of Jonathan's extensive collection of weird instruments. These particular items were part of the "Bath-house Brass" -- kazoos in fanciful shapes.

A fine sendoff, indeed -- I think Jonathan would have enjoyed it.
