Photo: Jim Ayers | It is with great sadness that we send sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Jimmy Ayers, keyboardist extraordinaire. Jim fought a long, hard fight against cancer. We will send more info later. Please note that Jimmy was up for “Keyboardist of the Year” for the Colorado Blues Society’s Members Choice Awards.

Please donate whatever you can to help out our Syrian and Turkish brothers and sisters. Every little $5 helps when multiplied by thousands. I just can’t imagine such a disaster in the middle of winter and in the dead of night …
.
Correction: My apologies to the family and friends. Tyre Nichols was beaten to death (not shot) by police officers, as I reported last week.
