This thread made me cry
RIP Grant

Grant was the kind of person who always had something encouraging to offer when times were tough, and always made you feel so incredibly special. I feel so fortunate to call him a friend. pic.twitter.com/C19mPLmLs5

Emitt Rhodes

― Left Eye Frizzell (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 19 July 2020 19:47 (five years ago)

For real?

― Sonny Shamrock (Tom D.), Sunday, 19 July 2020 19:59 (five years ago)

Saw it in FB from a guy who would know.

― Left Eye Frizzell (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 19 July 2020 20:10 (five years ago)

Weirdly enough he is not friends with any other ILX0rs, as far as I can tell. I am connected with him through a different route.

― Left Eye Frizzell (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 19 July 2020 20:11 (five years ago)

I saw some others music nerds posting it. So I did as well.

― dan selzer, Sunday, 19 July 2020 20:41 (five years ago)

My source usually seems to be super reliable. He has a recent picture of him and Emitt and he produces lots and lots of reissues which presumably he was doing with him as well at some point.

― Left Eye Frizzell (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 19 July 2020 20:49 (five years ago)

his fan club page on FB is open, lots of posts about it there too, some seem pretty first hand and no is disputing it.

― Left Eye Frizzell (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 19 July 2020 20:51 (five years ago)

Ah, guy I know did I Merry-Go-Round reissue.

We have a few Emitt Rhodes threads we could revive, two were started by me but don't seem quite apropos, well one of them especially.

― Left Eye Frizzell (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 19 July 2020 20:55 (five years ago)

Just went ahead with my other one.

― Left Eye Frizzell (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 19 July 2020 20:57 (five years ago)

Wikip is 'was'ing..

― Mark G, Sunday, 19 July 2020 21:19 (five years ago)

Confirmation on fanclub page came from guy who lives in his house, my source says.

― Left Eye Frizzell (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 19 July 2020 21:57 (five years ago)

Which post I read as well and couldn't figure out.

Michael Brooks, journalist and political commentator, 37.

This year I met this young American, a journalist, who turned out to be a friend, who I thought that we would meet again. How is it possible? My heart and prayers go to his family and friends. May his passion for social justice be remembered and inspire people around the world. https://t.co/OgGmzh5kMl

Friendbook post by an old jazz musician, the one who wrote the book of Jazz Anecdotes, naming his source with whom I am unfamiliar. I have an email out for some other possible confirmation to Jon Hendricks guitarist/streetteam
