As Titan Hot 7's west coast salesgirl, I had the wonderful opportunity =
to befriend and become really close to Louis. He was more than just one =
of the greatest trombone players, he was my BEST friend who encouraged =
me to do my music. Last year I made my "debut" with Titans, playing =
"Sister Kate". Jeff Barnhart was supposed to sing the lyrics but Louis =
grapped the microphone and sang the words instead. We had shared ice =
cream cones and backrubs and many laughs together. I have always =
admired his soft, quiet Southern drawl and his wonderful sense of humor. =
His jokes have made an influence on my stage presence too, and I will =
never forget his stories about Orville, his "invisible pet mule".
He was much too young and gone too soon. We were just corresponding via =
email a couple days ago. His death was a huge blow and I miss him =
terribly. Louis cannot be replaced and touched everyone's lives whom he =
came near. I cannot believe someone who loved life SO MUCH is gone... I =
love him and wish him well.
