Hi Tom—
<br class="">
<br class="">Nick Herbert here.
<br class="">
<br class="">I got your note about the slow play session and wondered if you have heard the news about August which is spreading slowly though our community.
<br class="">
<br class="">She died of complications following a urinary tract infection a week after St Paddy's day in a rehab center in Santa Cruz where she spent two months slowly recovering but instead died peacefully in her sleep. No funeral planned but we encourage those who connected with that fine spirit to lift a glass and/or play a tune in her honor.
<br class="">
<br class="">We in the Blarney band of which she was an essential part miss her a lot. Coincidentally our last paid gig was an Irish wake for a resident of Boulder Creek.
<br class="">
<br class="">Farewell August, you beautiful and talented being.
<br class="">
<br class="">Sad News.
<br class="">
<br class="">Nick
