We regret to announce the passing of William Green, elder brother of George Green, who played trumpet at Westinghouse with Albert Aarons and who later switched to drums in the early 50s.  He was a quiet and pleasant spirit, who loved the music and the music community.  Will post details of final arrangements here ASAP.

The Pittsburgh music family has lost yet another gifted musician, Lou Brock. Such a talented man with a heart of gold. We will all you miss him. Rest in Peace dear Lou, job well done.

I first met Lou when he had The Soul Barons, back in the late 60's.  The man was a mentor without really trying to be.  He taught/showed a lot of us younger musicians in and around Homewood, East Liberity, Hill Disitrict and other locales how to conduct yourself on and off the bandstand.   He showed me what it took to entertain folks of all walks of life and race.   I'll miss that big voice of his.........I'll miss him.  But I'll never forget him!
