[FA Worldmusic] Fwd: A card would be nice. Passing of Howard Larman

Fri Apr 27 11:53:10 EDT 2007

     Hello everyone, I wanted to forward this message that just came in. I 
think many of you know Roz and Howard, and will be saddened, as I am, by this 
news. I have had many talks with both of them at the Folk Alliance conferences 
through the years, and many of my artists have been at their studio in 
California, as recently as this past March with GiveWay. Howard was a true gentleman. 
His support for folk music through the years was a gift to us all, and will be 
remembered, and greatly missed.

    All the best, Pat

It is with great sadness that we share with you the passing of 
FolkScene founder, Howard Larman.

Howard was one of a kind. A generous soft-spoken man with a love for 
folk music he shared with his wife and co-founder of FolkScene Roz 
Larman. Their musical journey started 35 years ago and they shared 
that journey with FolkScene listeners almost every Sunday night 
during this time.  On radio station KPFK-FM.

FolkScene is not just a music program, but a testament of two people 
who loved Folk Music so much that they dedicated their life to 
sharing it with as many people that would listen. How fortunate for 
us all that we were listening. FolkScene's broadcast created 
listeners and friends sharing their love of music that reaches 
worldwide just like FolkScene's weekly program.

Honoring Howard's spirit and what he would want, FolkScene will 
continue; the circle remains unbroken. The responsibilities of 
FolkScene now lovingly rest with Roz and engineer Peter Cutler who 
will carry the love and spirit of FolkScene forward.

We will miss Howard's spirit, gentleness, boyish laughter and his 
wonderful telling stories of his adventures in the musical world of 
Folkies. All who listen to him weekly on FolkScene and those of us 
who have been fortunate enough to know him will miss him.

We rest easier knowing that he is in folk heaven with other folkies 
sharing stories and their love of music. Our love and prayers are 
with Roz Larman and the Larman children at this time.

Howard, we will miss you dearly, may God's speed be with you!

There was a generous obituary in today's Los Angeles Times befitting 
a man of accomplishment as was Howard Larman.

He was one of the "lifers" in the folk music family.  The obit stated 
"Services Are Pending" so we are all waiting.  If he and Roz touched 
your life, personally or professionally....a card and/or a note would 
be nice:
