Tom Broeske / Bassist

I just happened on the news of Jay's passing this Sunday. I can't really call him a friend but over the years I have come to know him through mutual friends and of course the music he made. The word 'Integrity' comes to mind. While most of us were carousing down on Green Street, Jay was down at the Rose Bowl pickin' with the country vets soaking up the real. As Don Gerard once said, Jay was "pound for pound the best guitar player in town".

Please play 'Long Time Missing' from my downloads page to hear Jay cranking it w/ Tommy Keene, John Richardson and me. Jay Bennett is not gone.
