I mentioned Scott a few times in posts previous.  He tried to make a go if it running a small record label in NYC....a daunting task for anybody, and obviously not recommended, but he followed his muse.  Plagued by complications from his nemesis, Polycystic Kidney Disease, he died suddenly back home in N.C., Sunday evening March 9th.   A musical visionary, genius and comic.  He could make you cry with laughter. He fired cannons with Hunter S. Thompson, drank with James Dickey, the Brecker Brothers, Rude Boy Slim, me, and well, everybody.  Loved by friends and family, especially his cocker spaniel, Mollie.  He is greatly missed, especially his rude noises on my voice messaging service.
