The Passing of Washington Savage

Passing of Washington Savage

As some of you know, the Toronto and global music community lost one of its lights in the person of

Washington Savage late last week. Washington (Blaxam, Maestro Fresh Wes, Jeff Healey, etc.) was a musician, singer, arranger and songwriter, just to name a few of his many talents. He happily encouraged many of the Toronto music community that we listen to today and have listened to over the years.

There is a musical tribute being planned at the Palais Royale at a date yet to be confirmed. If anyone is interested in participating in or performing at this planned memorial for Washington, then please reach out to either Eddie Bullen (studio@eddiebullen.com) or Michael Williams (greydread@gmail.com).

If you would like to send me your pictures of Washington (photo credit optional), I'd be happy to create a photo page in his memory. Send me an email at langfieldent@rogers.com.
