I don't know what to say that hasn't been said so well by these friends. Beth & I are in shock. We had offerred Stevenson our home in Nashville as refuge from the storm and had spoken many times during his stay in Tunica, MS. He last phoned a few weeks ago from his home in New Orleans in th midst of cleaning up and we discussed getting together when I came down to continue clean up at my parents' flooded home. Time didn't allow a visit then. He did confirmed that his Toussaint 'masters' were safe. I was with him in Los Angeles 20 years ago when he filmed Herb Alpert, Bonnie Raitt, Robbie Robertson, and others at the start of that amazing documentary that I truly hope will someday be completed as a part of his legacy.
Last summer, Stevenson screened for Beth & I a wonderful short piece about Ernie K-Doe he'd just edited complete with scenes from his ledgendary WTUL radio show and his shoe shine stand. It was another afirmation of his love affair with NO music and he was very up beat.
We will miss you, my brother.
