Bob Brown has left us...

Some of you may know of Bob Brown, who really brought a lot of notice

For myself, his Nonesuch gamalan LPs were my first introduction to the
incredible music of Bali and Java. A good guy gone.

Best,
Jon

vol. 2 of that series, also recorded by him is still one of my all time favorite javanese recordings.
My first thought being that this would be perfect music to listen to while dying, really
