David Hamburger posted this story in a recent newsletter and I laughed at the connotations:

Before I get to the playlist, I'll pass on a story my friend Ed Russell posted earlier in the week about Pat Martino. Ed's one of the first musicians I met when I moved to New York City, and I heard plenty of his Pat Martino stories when we were hanging out and playing music together, but I'd never heard this one until a few days ago. One day in 1976 Ed went to Philadelphia for his first lesson with Pat. Making his way through the neighborhood, getting directions from assorted old Italian gentlemen assuring him he was indeed heading towards the home of "the world's greatest guitarist," he was finally approaching casa di Martino when the door opened and Pat's previous student walked out – none other than Captain Trips himself. "What's happening?" Ed asked. Without skipping a beat, Jerry Garcia replied "Pat Martino!" and sauntered off.

It's so sad. One of the best guitar player ever. And a great guy
