The article names a David Brown, it's chainlinker Dan Brown. No final call on status but hoping for the best.

Are you asking or saying this Howard?
Not necessarily! The more options the better - Dan got around and made impressions in many places.

Howard,
Such sad, awful news :( Alma and I send our love and condolences to all
his friends and family.
Kind of in shock right now. Can only think of a few songs right off,
but Alma and I will put our heads together later, and between us all
we'll come up with a list. The system doesn't keep a history
unfortunately. Sam Cooke's "Having A Party" was his signature song --
he did it every time he joined us, which had to be close to a hundred
times in seven years. So I really can't get that one out of my head
right now.
By all means we'll do a memorial night. We don't know any of his other
friends outside of Davenport's, but if you can do invitations we'll put
this together.
Thank you for letting us know.
Take care,
Steve & Alma
But also keep in mind he is still technically just missing. I say he's on a laker freighter that picked him up and he's teaching all of the merchant marine about playing the harmonica and The Boss
I would think there would be a lot of interest--tell us the date and time. Also, I think when you originally posted we were hoping against hope that Dan was going to show up any second . . .

There seems to be a pretty broad range of positions on the acceptance/denial/grief/celebration continuum.
Back stroking through the locks. On his way to witness protection in Europe.

I vote for next Friday at Davenport's. But don't wait for votes, Howard. Just decide and tell us where to be and when to be there.

Just a thought, but next Thursday would be the third Thursday of the month which traditionally was Chainlink bar night. Again, just a thought. Whatever night for a "Celebration of Dan Brown" will be great. Davenports sounds like a good plan.
Count me in for any night.
Davenport's is a no-go for Thursdays. Dan did go to Spyner's on Thursdays (tried to get me to meet up but Thursdays rarely work for me.) We could have the whole back of the bar for a snack table if we stake it out early enough (8?). There would be few or no patrons who didn't know him. None of this 5 to 9 PM stuff... Dan would be be best honored by closing the place and feeling like absolute crap on Friday.
Proposal: Spyner's, next Thursday Aug 21 (a week from tomorrow.) On Western near Sunnyside I think (4623 N.)
