Tribute to Prince Lasha CANCELLED

December 12, 2008, William B. Lawsha, "Prince Lasha," made his transition. Born in Wellington, Texas on September 10, 1929, to W.B. and Amy Roberson Lawsha, the family moved to Fort Worth, Texas while Prince was young. Music was his passion, his last recording a tribute to Barack Obama, which fans can listen to at http://eddiegale.com/. Prince Lasha composed music and played the woodwinds, alto and baritone saxophones, flute, and clarinet. The last time I saw him was this summer after the San Jose Jazz Festival with Eddie Gale's ensemble at Yoshi's. He had nine children, all residing in the San Francisco Bay Area, Oakland his home for many years, Besides his children, he leaves behind: grandchildren, great-grandchildren, a sister and two brothers, nieces, nephews, and many fans and friends. This special show is an opportunity for all who knew and loved him to share stories and memories of a man who left us all too suddenly, even though his walk on this journey was as steep as it was long. The tribute's new date is Friday, Jan. 23, 8-10 AM. Stay tuned for the line-up.
