Two friends passed on this month. Both musicians from Cleveland, both kind men of multiple talents. Joe Siracusa, drummer, songwriter, dancer, gourmet chef. Will Ryan, actor, songwriter, cartoonist, ukulele enthusiast. I'd first met Joe when I was doing some cartoon research some 30+ years ago after Herb Klynn gave me his phone number. Will and I met shortly after I came to LA, and we ran around in the same circles most of that time since. Will was a close chum, we talked for hours about anything and everything. We did projects together, and he was always great fun to work with. If I started in with the stories we'd here for months. I will just say the world is a sadder place without them. But honestly, neither Joe nor Will ever would have wanted to leave the world a sadder place.
