Pat Cilberto sent me the following. I know there are some Ted Greene fans here who would like to know...
I just found out about Ted Greene's passing and I'm in shock. Below is the note I received from my friend Michael McClure, who found out through his friend Jamie Kime. I haven't seen anything in the news or on the Internet and wanted to let you guys know. His genius and kind soul will be missed.
