IGTNT — well, yesterday afternoon actually.
Jared Jacobsen, the iconic organist at Chautauqua, died tragically in a traffic accident Tuesday afternoon (27Aug) in northeastern Ohio.
The Chautauqua season had just ended. His last public work for the season, as usual, was the Sunday Night Sacred Songs Service — a powerfully moving close to each Sunday of the season, and to the nine-week Chautauqua season overall.
Anyone here at DailyKos who has been to Chautauqua will know of whom I speak; We’ll miss him greatly.

For those not familiar with Chautauqua: you may wish to browse the rest of the site linked above — CHQ is a feast for the mind, the eyes, the ears, the soul and a bastion of wide-ranging progressive discussion and action during the summer season.
