Re: Sad news at Saloon/DRAKE

Dave,

Drake played recently with Jake Jacobs and "The Sinners" and is seen on Bruce
Latimer's public access ( Penn 26 ) TV show reruns. Check out
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gt4AlRFB0J0&feature=related to see Drake in one
of his last TV appearances. Remarkable talent. RIP Drake.
