This is so sad.

I heard Gopher Mambo in a tapas restaurant on Friday night, and told my dining companion about how we persuaded Yma to come down to Florida for Hukilau in 2005, and all about what a character - and a great talent - Yma was.
By the end of our meal, they had played the song two more times.
I guess the mix tape in the restaurant was really short.

And then the next day... :(

I am so glad that we all got to meet her in '05, and so sad that we won't be able to do so again.
