Didn't know that he was fighting cancer, I've been met him fifteen years ago at Quai du Blues in Paris, we had a great party home in july 1998 with Napata Mero, Rubby Wilson and Beverly Watson who's gone with cancer.
All my love and pray go to my friend Chick.
Was fortunate enough to be at Manny's that night sitting next to Chick. (that's me yawning : ). Really enjoyed the music and sad that little bar didn't make it. But it was a great night of Blues music.
