I wanted them to die. – Marco Evaristti
As I so often do for non-superstar musicians, I’m sending Roy Ayers off with his best-known performance. The links above the video were provided by Brooke Magnanti; Kevin Wilson and Aaron Ross Powell; C.J. Ciaramella; Stephen Lemons; and T. Greg Doucette, in that order (I don’t recall who contributed the last one).

I find paywalls distasteful, and so many people find this blog valuable as a resource I just can’t bring myself to install one. Furthermore, I find ad delivery services (whose content I have no say over) even more distasteful. But as I’m now semi-retired from sex work, I can’t self-sponsor this blog by myself any longer. So if you value my writing enough that you would pay to see it if it were paywalled, please consider subscribing; there are four different levels to fit all budgets. Or if that doesn’t work for you, please consider showing your generosity with a one-time donation; you can Paypal to maggiemcneill@earthlink.net or else email me at the same address to make other arrangements. Thanks so much!
