For 26 years, your music has meaningfully influenced my life. And I appreciate Judy so much for it. Sending my sympathies and love from Pittsburgh!

Is that a camera in her lap? Looks like one of those external flashes that you had to replace the bulb in each shot. ☺️ Looks like she may be contemplating all she has to accomplish before xmas. The gaze of busy mothers going over lists in their mind.

My mom has been gone for 33 years, but it was she who 61 years ago bought me my first bass guitar over my dad's objections and supported me in everything I did! You have my sympathies, my friend.

She was your champion and likely knew that music is always good for brains and hearts

Do you recall if any of your songs made a particularly favorable impression on her?

Kevin Russell's avatar

Oh gosh yeah she loved it all. Lately my song Leaving Time was her favorite becuase it was about my father passing

I may have missed this elsewhere, but if you and the family have a preferred charity where memorial donations may be made, please do share.
