Rebecca Campbell with Tim Posgate - Brand New Day
On an unexpectedly bright and warm fall day, family and friends from many overlapping worlds gathered to celebrate the life of Ron Gaskin. Hot toddies and pumpkin pie in hand, it felt especially appropriate to gather at a place R.G. loved so well and worked to fill with music so frequently. Stories were told, poems were read, songs were sung. Word on the street is that there will be a larger celebration of the whole Rough Idea — Ron Gaskin's musical legacy — coming up in a season or two, so stay tuned.
Local treasure Rebecca Campbell, who was a key conduit in keeping Friends of Ron updated and connected, performed her usual Heroic Feats of Stage Management on this afternoon, as well as getting things started with a couple songs.
