Although details are scant, Billboard.com has confirmed that dates that were
to feature Jewel's full band have been canceled, including the opening show
and stops in Albany, N.Y., Indianapolis, Chicago, Minneapolis and Upper Darby,
Pa.

Atlantic recording artist Jewel has cancelled her forthcoming scheduled tour
of North America due to the sudden death of her bass player, Terome "T-Bone"
Hannon. T-Bone suffered a stroke last week and passed away on Thursday,
September 4th in his hometown of Detroit, Michigan. He was 39 years old and
had been a member of Jewel's live band for the past three years.

The tour had been slated to begin on September 19th in North Charleston, South
Carolina. While Jewel has cancelled her upcoming concerts with her band, plans
are currently being made for her to perform selected solo acoustic shows.
Details will be announced as soon as they become available.

redbook magazine (oct 2003 edition). 5 page article is inside.

I am in the process of upgrading the operating system on the server today from FreeBSD 4.8 to FreeBSD 4.8 stable aka FreeBSD 4.9 prerelease. By doing this now, I will benefit from the new features early and the upgrade to 4.9 release will be a little easier.

For technical people, I have the kernel installed and am installing the userland as I write this.

Now I'm running mergemaster. I will need to reboot one more time for the upgrade to take place.

Jewel has been named Best Musical Guest on the upcoming "First Annual
Relly Awards" (Regis & Kelly show). It is scheduled to air on Friday,
Sept. 12th.

Channel One airs in public schools across the country. Jewel is partnering
with a promotion to reward positive community involvement from the
students at hundreds of participating schools. Schools will send in an
essay explaining what they are doing together to make a difference in
their community along with a videotape, letter from a teacher or community
leader. The winning school gets Jewel to play a concert right at their
school!

T-Bone was the bass player in Jewel's band. Instead of rehashing this information, I will now post the email sent by MrBB on the subject.

Hi you guys,
Sorry to pop back into your life as the bearer of sad news. Bass
player extraordinaire Terome (aka T-Bone) Hannon passed away earlier
today. I don't know much more right now but I do know many of you met
him along the way, as he was quite friendly, and almost all of you
appreciated him as a great musician. I was fortunate to have enjoyed
more of his performances than most in the past few years and he never
ceased to amaze me. I considered him the anchor in J's band and his
(very big!) shoes are gonna be extremely difficult to fill.
I got to know T-Bone a bit over dinners together at a few shows last
year and earlier this year. Turned out we had a lot of musical interests
in common, one being we were both fanaticly into Parliament/Funkadelic
and all their various offshoot bands through the 70s and early 80s. He
surprised the hell out of me by saying one of the drummers he always
wanted to jam with was Tyrone Lampkin, the drummer for P-Funk back then.
Tyrone happened to grow up here in my home town and was one of my
dearest friends. He used to drag my skinny white ass down to Harlem for
many of the most incredibly memorable shows I ever experienced. He
passed away in the early years of AIDS, but I still have pieces of his
drum kit in my basement, which I still play occasionally. So
anyway...T-Bone and I had some enjoyable conversations about music and
friends, two of the things that obviously mattered most to both of us. I
didn't know very him well but I'm certainly saddenned and will miss him.

I suppose some official announcement may be forthcoming but I
thought you guys deserved to know.

R.I.P. Terome Hannon. Alan
