Ah. I thought I was hearing "Leonard Bernstein," who I _thought_ died some
years back.

Received an e-mail announcing the death of famed bandsman from Eastman School
of Music, Frederick Fennell, on Tuesday, December 7, 2004.

Dad asked to be cremated and that
I scatter his ashes in the woods at Interlochen, Michigan this summer.

Martyn Bennett died on Sunday, age 33, "following a long
battle with Hodgkin's Lymphoma."
Martyn's last album, GRIT, was a techno-folk masterpiece which
was developed while he was recuperating at his parents' home,
and listening to old traditional Scottish folk LPs.
GRIT was my pick for my favorite CD of 2003.
Here's an obituary from a Scottish newspaper:
http://news.scotsman.com/archive.cfm?id=118752005
Over the last five years, Martyn was probably the musician
whose new recordings I most eagerly looked forward to. I knew that
this premature death was a possibility, but he had sounded pretty
good in the last round of interviews on BBC radio shows.

I liked this odd scrap of info from his biography in the All Musig Guide:
> He served as personal piper to the president of Tanzania during the
> president's visit to Edinburgh.
