[58flame]

I knew this day would come. It still sucks.

Thank you Joe, for inspiring me to play. Thank you for talking to me so many times and listening to me say thank you. Thank you for all the music. Thanks for all the live performances I got see.

Thanks for being Handyman Negri.

Thanks for being an awesome human being.

Love you Babe.

Very sad news,great guitar player and one of the nicest cats you could ever meet.Strangely,just yesterday i was saying to a friend that he and Kenny Burrell were the last of an era.RIP Joe.

Like probably many people my age, Joe was the first person I heard playing jazz guitar. He made it look so fun.

Rest in Peace.

2 absolute monsters.

Here's some more recent Joe. I love him so much.

I grew up in Pittsburgh PA from age 0 - 10, and I have this vague-but-visceral recollection of meeting Joe Negri at some point during those early childhood years, but I can't recall what the circumstances might have been. At the time I was well aware of Joe strumming his guitar on the Mr. Rogers TV show, but it wasn't until many years later that I realized what a skilled jazz player he was.

RIP, Pittsburgh icon.

I wish I could find his book, "A Common Sense Approach to Improvisation for Guitar" as it seems to be pretty interesting, but it is nowhere to be found, in any form whatsoever !
