I recently introduced my brother to Emily and he had the same profound reaction when I told him of her passing.

Is the guy who got her on heroin still around?

He has to bear shame for life.

Thanks for listening,
Wyatt.

I just recently became aware of Emily and her contributions to the world of
music and jazz shortly after my 32nd birthday. I had searched for Wes Montgomery
on a video site and Emily’s videos were among the selections. After viewing
almost all of them I was hooked. Her technique, style, personality, sense of
humor, and passion were so abundant that she made it look easy. I was
excited to find this site to see more of her music. Thank you for this, it is a
wonderful site. I cannot remember where I read this, it may have been in some
notes here; someone mentioned that Wes Montgomery would be proud of Emily.
I strongly agree with that notion. I am hoping to work through her video lessons soon.
Thank you again for sharing Emily’s life with us.

I continue to be saddened by her loss. What a waste! (and I work with people with chemical dependency issues) Her music still touches me. She had such a knack for playing the RIGHT notes (3rds and 7ths?), as well as writing such nice tunes.

I APPRECIATE and enjoy this site. I’m hoping that Bill Milkowski or someone will someday write a biography. I REALLY enjoy the unpublished live reordings.

THANKS.

lu: Thanks for your email, I’m glad you found my photo of Emily and were able to use it, there’s more but it would take quite a bit of effort to find, scan and post ‘em and I’m a bit busy just now……AB.
