Greetings!

At 89, Rich Kaufman passed away in his sleep last week. We gathered in Jenkintown and Rydal for his funeral and 3 days and evenings of Shiva. The whole experience was buffered and made incredible thanks to Liz and Andrew's family and friends, and all of their efforts.

We played a lot of songs - ate Philly foods (Ben & Irv's, cheesesteaks, and so much more!). We visited Camp Smiley - and sat and told stories. I'm sure there will be more to come, but here's a start. If you have something to add, please send it my way.

May his life be a blessing!

Albert

An amazing video of the funeral. It's really touching and moving.

If you want to support live folk music, throw a house concert or community sing. I think He would love that! Here's a guide put together by my good friend, Flip Breskin, on how to do that well.

And, this is a song for all the good people....
