Damn, I didn't know Joy Ryder died. I'm out of the loop these days. I did know Patrick Salt Ryan quite well...I used to run into him in the early AM at The International Bar. Big losses.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I knew about most of these, but was a little shocked to read of Adam Roth, whom I'd first known about 20 years ago and lost touch. I checked the link to see if it was the same Adam Roth, and apparently it was. Damn…just shows you have to be here now for the people in your life.
ReplyDeleteLots of good souls lost. Keep up the remembrances. RIP and good thoughts to those still here who are missing these folks tonight.
ReplyDelete:( So sad. Life is too short.

ReplyDeleteThanks for remembering my husband and all the others that have passed last year. I appreciate it and so would he. Salt Lives!!
ReplyDeleteI also suggest that you add Judith Malina on to this list and do an addition. I will wait to see if you do it and then share this post on my social media. I was also unaware that Joy died and met her when I first moved to NYC at the YIPPIE rock and roll club studio 10. As time passes the sad list of people that I knew who died in the year past grows larger and larger.
ReplyDeleteThis list brought tears to my eyes, but thank you for sharing it.
ReplyDeletePeople sure won't be forgetting Adam Purple.
ReplyDelete6:10 said it best. thanks so much for publishing this. rip to all the killer dreamers, you are missed.
