I don't know if anyone's read his memoir "Sing Backwards and Weep", but I did and came to the conclusion it was amazing he even made it to 57. Very well written book which pulls no punches. R.I.P.
Oh shit. It was cancer. I saw the sad news over on the tapeop board. A knowledgeable and generous dude.

Oh no! I vaguely remember him from the old forum. Fuck cancer, and here's to eternal life in the archives.penningtron wrote: Wed Feb 23, 2022 10:39 am RIP one time FM Chris Garges (cgarges, who's post go back to the Archived era of the forum).

I met Chris at Electrical in 2006 when I was an intern. He was visiting to mix a record.penningtron wrote: Wed Feb 23, 2022 10:39 am RIP one time FM Chris Garges (cgarges, who's post go back to the Archived era of the forum).

Could not put it down. Through all the darkness, he was a funny a hell. His beef with Liam Gallagher had me rolling on the floor. Even if there was some embellishment, it was a great story. R.I.P.

Aw that sucks, I just know him from "Runnin' and Gunnin" but yeah that's way too young.penningtron wrote: Thu Mar 10, 2022 11:24 am Ron Miles, who's name you probably wouldn't know unless you lived in Denver and paid any attention to jazz, or may recall from his Rational Funk cameos. I mostly knew of him thru a friend, and in his active performing days (he was more of a teacher later on) collaborated with everyone from high brow jazz types, to John Zorn and Eye of the Boredoms. 58 is way too young..
I was in a session yesterday with a bunch of his former students who were singing his praises.Chud Fusk wrote: Thu Mar 10, 2022 12:03 pmAw that sucks, I just know him from "Runnin' and Gunnin" but yeah that's way too young.penningtron wrote: Thu Mar 10, 2022 11:24 am Ron Miles, who's name you probably wouldn't know unless you lived in Denver and paid any attention to jazz, or may recall from his Rational Funk cameos.
