Dear Ron,
Those are very nice comments about John on your web site.
I do not understand why an official announcement on John's passing did not
appear more promptly. I also heard many weeks ago, but felt somone else
should be responsible for an announcment. So far there has still been no
mention in either the Globe
or Cambridge Chronicle. The burial ceremony will be held in Mount Auburn
Cemetery at 9:45 a.m. on February third.
In your list of publications you might also include two important articles
in the Journal of the Lute Society of America, "A Dowland Miscellany" (1977)
and "Changing the Instrument for the Music" (an important article for ALL
who edit lute music: 1982). There is a fuller list of publications in the
Vicapaedia <sic--in Latin> biographical article:

You should mention MEL again in the Bibliography. Perhaps also his
Festschrift: Music and Context.
Might you or Doug Freundlich compile a complete bibliography of
John's writngs for the Quarterly? That would be an appropriate memorial.
