Oh no! I didn’t know about this either. I was just listening to him the other day and wondering how he was doing.
My brother-in-law frequently collaborated with McCann and always had great stories to tell about him, and a treasure trove of funny quotes like “ain’t nothing worse than a white man in a dashiki”.
