Subject: Jazz Great, Rufus Harley
I, sadly, report the death of pioneer jazz bagpiper, Rufus Harley. Unable to tour, these last few years, Rufus stayed and played in his beloved Philadelphia where he was revered and loved. I was honored to know him and, occasionally, share a stage with him. He was an unusual man with an unusual way of seeing the world. He was unchanged by fame, unaltered by circumstance.
