Don was the promoter par excellence. The Brill Building is emptying out, sadly...

Midnight special was eagerly anticipated in my house. This is indeed a sad day. A legitimate music business good guy. Guys like him and Ahmet Ertegun are being replaced by the Simon Cowell's of the world... :(

I loved that show when I was a kid. Gave me my first introduction to many bands I was too young to go see live.

R.I.P.
