Welcome Paradoxers!
This blogspot will be our new home to share updates on everyone's new cd's, links to music venues, and other activities.
You can also post remembrances, photos, and any other memorabilia you would like to share. It would be great if this could become like an archive for the Paradox -- then and now.
More information to follow as I figure this out. In the meantime, please add your comments and keep the site alive and growing.

Steve Mann has passed away
According to a Facebook post by Don Burnham, Steve passed away yesterday. No details, but a lot of remembrances. I imagine that Janet could use a little love about now.
Poor gentle soul, life wasn't kind to him. What a talented, gifted man he was. So glad we had him two years ago at our reunion, Ralph was able to bring Steve out that beautiful weekend. Rik, thanks for letting us know.
We lost another piece of the Paradox Soul yesterday. I'm so glad he and Janet were able to join us for the 2007 reunion.I'll forever be in awe of the music he and Ralph made that weekend. I know he'll have plenty of players to jam with on his new journey...and I'll bet he whips 'em all at chess. Safe travels, brother Steve.
This a great webpage about Steve. http://www.wirz.de/music/mann_frm.htm
Knowing that Ralph would want to write Janet, I just spoke with him again to ask if he had Janet's contact info. Ralph says that he has the Bella Roma e-address and a physical address somewhere, and told me that he will look around for them, Ralph did say that he would like to write her. If the e-address is different than the Bella Roma one, could you please forward it to Gary to forward it to Ralph please? Thanks Diane.............Chris

Oh, dear, I'm sorry to read that.
I have her email if anyone wants to contact her.

Rik, thanks for letting us know.
I called Ralph
I would like janet's email address, Diane.
Thanks for contacting Ralph.
Rik, I just sent you Janet's email. I don't feel comfortable posting it here without her permission, so if anyone else wants it let me know.
Also, if anyone sees an obituary or hears of a memorial service, I'm sure there are a few Northern Californians who would like to go.

Will do.
And I'm pretty sure Bob and Helen have phone numbers and a physical address so maybe they can send that to Gary for Ralph as well.
Thank you!
