CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Nearly 50 years ago, on his self-titled first solo album, Michael Stanley offered a plaintive view about mortality:
Here’s a song for a friend soon gone
A friend whose life and mine became entwined
Leaving soon for a lifetime/Leaving part of you behind
Stanley, who passed away Friday at the age of 72 from lung cancer, leaves more than a small part of himself behind in his native Cleveland -- and a gaping hole in a city where he was a rock ‘n’ roll king and a much-loved, award-winning radio and television personality.

I live in Kamm’s Corner’s. It is in the West Park neighborhood in the City.
sure I know Kamms corner... nice area, convenient to metroparks, lake erie, not far from the islands and backyard to all the good stuff in cleveland - museums, restaurants (whats left of them) and lots of local as well as touristy places of interest.
It would be nice if this summer we could get together folk from NE Ohio.. just go to a park.. maybe a pvaillion. Keep it simple and everyone bring own food/drink for picnic. I have met quite a few of the locals over the years but we really haven’t done much as far as get togethers. would be nice during a time when we need to get strength from each other.
