I love it. I saw the news paper piece when she died. That was both a sad and a joy for a fellow bassist who died in the section, playing.

Thank you for posting this beautiful tribute to Jane LITTLE.

This is a lesson to keep on going as a bassist. While it was sad to hear of her passing , it goes to show that the music is Closer to the Heart. May her example continue to inspire us to stay healthy enough to continue further on. She lived the universal dream in the Limelight.
