Heard about this today

My dad grew up on his street and used to hear Chuck practicing from his house

Steve Gadd also grew up in the same neighborhood. His brother is a local hair stylist my wife sometimes goes to

I get pizza from that neighborhood once a week and the neighborhood is now a dangerous slum

Two members of Chuck’s band, Gerry Niewood and Coleman Mellett, were killed in that plane crash that landed on the house in Buffalo back in 2009. Gerry Niewood played with Simon & Garfunkel at the concert in Central Park. You can hear Paul introduce Gerry on the recording. Gadd played drums at that concert.

Anyway, loved Chuck and his brother Gap. RIP

Chuck died about 10 miles from my house
