This is a great idea that should be followed up on.

FYI, David moved only a few weeks ago - I believe to Pasadena. So if you have an older address for him in may not be current.

Would it be possible to get current info?
(I only have web addresses for him and understandably emails to Davids account are not being replied to)

I too was a student of David and like the rest of you will miss him dearly.

As a thought has anyone given any consideration to sending flowers/a card to Evelyne from all his EIS students over the world? I for one would be up to donating something towards this but I think we need someone in the US to coordinate.

If anyone thinks this is a good idea, perhaps Fredrick on someone who runs the board could accept Paypal donations?

Regards

Let´s make it happen!!!

I never knew David Blumberg, but he certainly seemed to have touched a lot of people.

He was the Maestro and he had a very high level of spirituality, I had the chance to go through Book XI during these 3 fabulous years with David, he was more than our teacher, he was our friend.

David gave me confidence in my writting and I own him my today career in my country.

David, you gave me so much, I will never forget you !

Haven't been to this forum for quite some time and decided to pop in today.

I studied with David for a year or so, a couple of years back. Unfortunately we lost touch over the years. This is quite sad news. I learned more from him than most of my college career studying music.

I wish I would have known so I could have sent flowers. Sad

I've been away from the forum for a few years, and was sad to read of Mr. Blumberg's passing -- not for myself, but for the people who knew him.

I did have a very nice email from him when I inquired about the EIS system.

Rest in peace, and fine harmonies.

I don't know David, but what a great idea!

I'm flying in for the memorial tomorrow. I'd love to meet some of you in person.

The memorial was quite special. For those who could not attend there were many great speeches and videos from musical dignitaries and performances by many who worked with David including Stevie Wonder,Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter, first call LA Pianist Mike Lang,Ellis Hall and Keb Mo. The entire service will be placed online according to sources.
