Covid toll slows among musicians

It has been a month since we last posted a list of Covid deaths among musicians, a positive sign that the fatality rate is slowing. But each death is equally lamentable and each one must be mourned.

Nor should we ever allow our political leaders to escape their accountability for early mishandling and late vaccination decisions.
