Wayne, tonight I was entertaining myself by looking through various Instagram sites and the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus popped up, singing a rendition in honor of those members (41, I think) who’d passed away over the years. I’m not sure of the date of this performance, but I’m sure you were represented by one of the singers who turned his back to the audience to represent you “in absentia.” As one thing often leads to another, I did an Internet search and found your San Francisco obituary online. You were such a talented person and so full of life. I miss you Wayne. PS I went to your Pasadena memorial and there was a quartet from the LA Gay Men’s Chorus there to sing for you. At the end, we all joined in, organ and all, singing the “Hallelujah Chorus.” I think you would have liked that!
