Gerry Niewood and Coleman Mellett were killed in that plane crash near Buffalo Thursday night. I don't know if this has been mentioned widely..I just saw it this morning. Mangione's band was to play Friday evening. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5h0vc7yecGw0qFv7pFD3pK7T22YtAD96BGIO80 dl
