Adrien's work with the festivals--both Apple Hollow and Ormstown--was nothing short of incredible. His consideration for performers put many other festivals to shame. He has become such a good friend over the years that what I'll miss most is not seeing him and his missus in mid July. (She's a great cook as well as a lovely person :-).

Festivals don't happen by themselves, and many other people helped, but as ships will go awry and askew without someone at the tiller, so too will musical events that don't have someone guiding and calling the final shots. He was the guy that did that.

Love ya, Ad, and thanks.
