Chris was a neighbor of mine in Wayland mass. And a long time friend who I kept in touch with quite a bit. So sorry that he's not still with us. He was always a man of great optimism. Recently I'd called but didn't get through so I decided to look online. And I just saw this notice about him passing on June 23rd. His rare sense of humor and multiple insights when it comes to music, as well as the Buddhist traditions will be missed.
