I just received word tonight that legendary avant-garde violinist Leroy Jenkins has passed away. He was 75. I don't know much else right now, but when I receive any more information from my people I'll inform you all.

I have a feeling people will read this thread and not think of the correct person.

It's unfortunate that people are going to think of World of Warcraft when they hear this name from now on.

He was a great violinist, sad to see him go.

I know what you guys mean

I looked up his name on YouTube to see if I could get a video of him performing, but I just found a bunch of versions of that stupid World of Warcraft video.

RIP. He was a great musician.

Alas. He seemed to be getting better each year. I didn't realize he was that old.

While you may find his name humorous, Mr. Jenkins was, from my experience, a warm and gentle man - humble and achieved. He was one in a million, and extremely important to the movement of creative music. I'd appreciate a little respect for the man. Who the hell knows why that stupid World of Warcraft nerd took the same name as the legendary violinist...
