, his bassoon loomed large. Of course, he's the very first episode of my podcast, Industry Tactics. He's a dear friend, who I will hold with me, as I move forward both on and off the stage. In 2008, The Lollipop People lived together for a week in Montreal when we were presenting The Friendly Rich Show. It was so special being in Jeff's orbit; he'd stay up all night talking on the phone, or re-reading some Dan Brown novel he had already read. Jeff squeezed the most out of life, and when he hugged you, that was an instrumental part of the squeezing. His epic hugs would last forever, and I wish I could have one more. I know so many of us in this city love Jeff Burke and are so thankful to have known him. He will never be forgotten, legendary busker, creative musician, caring father, sci-fi lover, gentle human. Safe passage, fellow dreamer.
