Steve Sladkowski & Joe Sorbara - A Rough Idea/So Long Ron
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.
Friends, musical co-conspirators, and radioactivators to R.G., Steve Sladkowski & Joe Sorbara have been playing together for a hot minute now, including the recent recording of a duo record. Each brought a piece commemorating R.G. to those sessions, and they are presented here in welded-together form.
