Indeed a sad bit of news. I had the good fortune to have worked with him 
in 1955 when we were both with the Ted Weems Orchestra. I have several 
hilarioous Jake Hanna stories I will pass on some day soon, but he was 
not just a good - make that VERY good drummer -  but a great character; 
his "BAH-ston Irish wit always finding way to break us up.
This fellow remembers him from a time when we were both young and full 
it it. Good rest to you, Jake.
