Received news of the passing of Henry Fambrough earlier this month

The passing of Mr. Fambrough caused a flood of memories centered on the music that he helped to make. The three strongest memories centered around three songs. The first was an appropriately titled song that seemed to symbolize my inaugural year at what was then called the Boalt Hall School of Law, but which is now UC Berkeley Law School. This song seemed to be played every morning as I drove from Novato to Berkeley in the Fall of 1975.
Then there was this song which seemed to be an anthem for certain aspects of my life.
And finally, there was the song that we played as part of the photo (video) montage at my mother's memorial service in 2010.
Rest in Peace, Henry Fambrough, and thank you for the musical memories.
