[Dixielandjazz] Ron Going, RIP

[Richard Broadie]

Am greatly saddened to hear of Ron's passing.  I remember him well from 
numerous jam sessions going back to the early 60s.  Ron had a great love of 
George Lewis and the very traditional elements of okom.   I recall his 
clarinet having some of the holes plugged up and rubber bands acting as 
springs.  He explained to me at the time that he'd seen George Lewis' 
clarinet and that's the way George played it.  And that's the way Ron played 
it too, at least back nearly 50 years ago.

My deepest condolences to Jan and family.

Dick Broadie
