RIP, James Chavez Glica Hernandez

Oh, this is sad news. Covid-19 is the worst. James was musical director for most shows over more than two decades at Woodland Opera House. His ready smile, energy, and sense of fun will be sorely missed. It's truly the end of an era at the Woodland Opera House. Erik Daniells, Amy Shuman, and Jeni Price are in this video.

 

This tribute video says it all:

   

 As it turns out, I hadn't had much contact with James over the last decade. We quarreled on Facebook, of all things, about former Congressman Alan Grayson of Florida.  I thought Grayson's pugnaciousness was a good model for national Democrats.  James disagreed.  As things eventually proved, Grayson was corrupt.  I'm willing to concede the point to James.  In any event, faced with coarsening of the Republicans, Democrats had to get more pugnacious.  We both won.
