March 21, 2015: R.I.P. Martin Simmons

March 21, 2015: Musician Extraordinaire  
Martin Simmons  

passed away...It was the early 1970s when I met Martin and one of his earliest bands (Geyda) at the Odyssey Bar in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Then, for years to come I saw him at so many venues that it's just too hard to remember them all. The man was a musical genius who gave it away...

The Master, R.I.P. Brother...You will be missed by many!
