Tributes and memories

December 8, 2009 | Jack Rose

First, on behalf of the Klang family (and this is one of those times when it really is a family) thank you for the condolences, thoughts and prayers on the loss of our brother Jack. The reports from across the web show how much and how widely the man and his music were loved. He's left us, but those of us who knew Jack all have our own favorite stories, favorite songs, favorite memories of him, and those will never leave us.

Some of us have been collecting particularly poignant memories of Jack. Here are a few to share (thanks to Amy, Patrick and Nathan for their contributions to this list):

• Bill Kellum
• Windy Weber
• David Morris, Strangeglue
• Arthur magazine
• Terrascope
• Rob V.
• Byron Coley
• Mark Cornick
• Scott Verrastro
• Flight of the Ruffian (video; text in French)
• a similar list on Black Twig myspace

Also, if you're on Facebook, a Memories of Jack Rose group.

Here's to you, Dr. Ragtime.
