The Mandelbear's Musings

Leigh Anne Hussey, motogrrl, singer-songwriter, fiddler, filker, pagan, -- the list goes on -- was killed in a motorcycle accident on I580 last night. She was 46 years old. There are few details at this point, but apparently she lost control of her bike in close proximity to a dump truck.

The flower_cat and I were wakened at 1am or so by a shaken chaoswolf, who'd gotten the news from ciarhwyfar. More from nitnorth, cadhla, purplerabbit, and johno.

She was one of those many people I wish I had known better, and whose music I've loved for years; I was looking forward to hearing her band, Brazen Hussey, at Baycon Friday night. You never know when it will be the last time you see someone -- make the most of your time together. Fare well, Leigh Anne, wherever you're wandering now.

DAMN!
