To my dear friend Vince Jonas
~ forever ~
In the spring of 1993 you drove your VW from Mt. Iron to Baltimore for the last concert to be performed by the Annapolis Brass Quintet. If it were anyone but you, such would be considered an unbelievable show of support and friendship. For you, it was just what you do. Just one of the countless priceless gifts you have given to each and every one of us who will love and treasure you forever.
So Vince, here is a brief snippet from that

"Elam Sprenkle's haunting evocation of Walt Whitman's poem 'Crossing Brooklyn Ferry' was performed off-stage, more a closing benediction on the house than an encore." { The above excerpt is from Phil Greenfield's Baltimore Sun Review }

Walt Whitman's Crossing Brooklyn Ferry
is a poem about a man taking the Brooklyn ferry home from Manhattan at the end of a working day. It is one of Walt Whitman's best-known and best-loved poems because it so astutely and insightfully argues for Whitman's idea that all humans are united in their common experience of life.
