What's New

Even though I spent 4 years under Mr. Pearson's musical baton (1967-71), I didn't know all of this background about him.  I think that is a testimony to his humility and also shows what an incredible musician and teacher he was!  He instilled in me my love for instrumental music, which continues to this day.  After high school, I was a member of my college band (Texas Tech's Goin' Band from Raiderland) and even married a band director!  I will miss and think of him as I attend the TMEA conference in San Antonio this week, as I would often run into him and catch up with him there.  God bless you, John Pearson, for what you meant to me and to so many other students.  What a beautiful life, well lived!

I am dreadfully sorry about Ramon’s death. How terrible. I didn’t realize he was so ill. Sending many hugs.

Like others, I was stunned to hear of Brian’s sudden death.  I am so sorry.  I knew him recently mostly from his postings through this site and Facebook.  What a terrible loss for his family and for us.  ??

I, too, am very sad to hear of Brian's passing.  I also had just messaged him through FB regarding his mother's passing, as I had lost my mom a year and a half ago.  He actually thanked me for my message the day he was killed.  Life is so very fragile and we certainly need to make the most of every single day we are given!  Rest in peace, Brian.  You will be missed!
