Nobody who met the late Duane Jarvis stood a chance of forgetting him, especially if they'd played with him. Jarvis' death last month of colon cancer at age 51 brought an outpouring of reminiscences on the web--testimonials to his good nature and much sought-after chops, memories of gigs and travels. He left behind a stellar body of music, not just his first-rate solo albums, but also his guitar work and songwriting with Lucinda Williams, John Prine, Peter Case, Frank Black and many others. Rosie Flores, one of DJ's many friends and admirers, has helped to assemble a Memorial Day show and barbecue to honor the late musician's memory. Running from 6 p.m. to midnight Monday at The Basement, the event will feature video clips, songs and stories, along with free grilled hot dogs donated by Layla at Hot Diggity Dog. Performers include Flores, Phil Lee, Jim Lauderdale, Joy Lynn White, James Intveld, Chris Scruggs, Billy Block, Irene Kelley, Pat Gallagher, Dave Coleman, and likely some unannounced guests. Update: We just received word via Mike Grimes that John Prine will be among the guests performing tonight.

I had the honor and pleasure of working with Duane Jarvis while recording songs he had co-written with Natalie Noone.. at 7 South Studio in Santa Barbara, CA, back in the summer of '07. Those songs are diamonds! not just gems.. Duane was very nicea complete gentleman, pleasant, and never let on for a second he had any illness whatsoever. He had that "no nonsense" approach in the studio that comes from being in the Nashville scene and knew precisely what he wanted and boy, he worked me hard as an engineer. He had fun too, came down and watched me play dobro while I was gigging with the LeGrand String Band at the local Irish pub. Natalie is fantastic and I hope she can find a guitarist like Duane, and now that she is in Nashville she'll rise to the top eventually.
