Text from the image: For James Chance (James White) Today by David Siegfried, Organizer Dear Friends, We are sad to announce that James Chance (Siegfried) passed away peacefully this morning after his long illness. We are so grateful we flew to NY to be here with him the past two days, and that he was still awake and aware enough to be able to converse with us and share many memories of his time in music, childhood and family.
