Shortly
afterwards we went off to fulfill engagements in Dubai and then
Nashville. Upon our return over the weekend I quickly emailed him to
find out how he was doing after what we thought was 'routine' hospital
stint. Not
knowing that our venerable, quintessential scholar of black and
African-descent composers, incomparable giant of musicology, the great
Professor Dominique-Rene de Lerma had departed. Dom has been longtime
board member of the African Musical Arts organization. He was many
things to us: mentor, advisor, fatherly figure, and friend. His is a
void that will be difficult to fill.
Peace his soul now rest,
Fredo & Wendy

That
must be reason I had nudging thoughts of you over the weekend. Actually
got sidetracked from penning you an email this morning.
Dom, I will be praying for fairer health for you. You least worry about me, dear friend.
Perfect peace for you,
Devotedly, F.
