Un homme de 63 ans décède dans un accident
sur la RD 1005 ledauphine.com 12/12/11
We received the news through his daughter. Seems he was killed instantly by another driver who ran into him. Three other people were injured but Jay Wormus was killed. Darkness was falling at this hour---it happened around 5 pm on Sunday December 11th in the Haute-Savoie, not too far from his home.
Like that, dead. One of those accidents that leaves families gravely injured--four generations of family in Jay's case-- and friends stunned, in pain, disbelieving.
I'm writing this because I must. The loss of Jay hits the community of music friends very hard.
My previous blog described the World Music Project at the UN Staff Christmas event.

There he was, less than forty-eight hours earlier, warming up with Get Your Kicks on Route 66, and then during the concert singing Mack the Knife, one of his favorites, with grit, with feeling......
"........When that shark bites, with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though wears Macheath, dear
So there's never a trace of red.
Sunday morning on the sidewalk,
Lies a body oozing life
And someone's creeping around the corner,
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?......."
So help us all, Jay was a good man, loved by so many.
