On A (Musical) Side Note

Time to take just a moment from the market and economic news to talk about one side note ... the passing of one of my favorite musicians, Merl Saunders.

Saunders was a keyboardist extraordinaire, and not only played with his own band but also worked with some of the greatest jam bands of all time.    His music never failed to lift spirits, and maybe we could all use some of that these days.

Here's a link to a website and a streaming version of his song "My Problems Got Problems"  (appropriate!)

Farewell, Merl!
