RIP Ellis Marsalis

RIP to a legend.

I had the great honor to play 2nd chair trombone to Delphio at a summer band camp between my junior and senior year. However, it wasn't until after the camp had ended and I saw the program from the concert we did that I knew Delphio's last name was Marsalis.
I did get to say hi to him once during my Senior year at some Franklin High School function or party (my best friend Ken went to Franklin, I did not). At least I knew who he was then. I wish I had known at band camp, I would have been asking him 1000 questions about his Dad and a whole slew of legends who played with him (he probably would have hated that, but I don't know).

Anyway, Ellis' music lives on and his spirit in it...
