Mr. Amos, thankyou so much for posting this article about my cousin Joseph Evans. I am traveling back to Pittsburgh from his funeral which was dignified and classy , worthy of a man of his stature, complete with an alto sax man playing a soul stirring rendition of "Amazing Grace." Our family is very proud of our cousin's accomplishments and praying that he is resting in the arms of God and playing in the angelic band.

<p>I too had the good fortune to know Joe. We were the Pittsburgh distributor for Carnival Records in the 60's, thanks to "Sir Walter. Like Nelson, I contacted Joe after reading "Follow Your Heart." He was sharp as a tack and used cell phones and a computer at 94. We talked a few times and I got in touch with his niece in Pittsburgh. Joe was a humble and outspoken man who was willing to share the true facts of his experiences. I liked him a lot and I am sure he'll be gigging in heaven…</p>

<p>Kevin,</p>
<p>Thanks so much for posting this. I spoke to Joe a few years ago on the phone for a couple of hours after reading his book. I think he was 94 then. Fascinating story that all jazz lovers should read. It was a wonderful conversation and I regret not getting around to calling him again. His cousin Barbara is a member of this network and she turned me on to him. May he R.I.P.</p>
