John passed on May 29, 1989. Each year at this time, his friends gather to enjoy his music and his memory.

This 13th memorial was very special. Antonia and Mario, John's sister and brother, put together an extraordinary musical event at Mill Valley's Sweetwater Saloon, featuring many of the musicians that were part of John´s life.

Special thanks to Alan Blaustein for the photographs you see here.
