Looks like a good number of Morphine fans here. They used to hang in Central Square in Cambridge, about 3/4 of a mile from my current residence. Met Dana Colley at the Plough and Stars, and now Jerome Deupree drums for a friend of mine who plays fretless bass (as well as two-string fretted - giving that Morphine sound) and was majorly influenced by the Sandman.
Shortly after his death in 1999, the corner of Brookline Avenue and Massachusetts Avenue in Central Square was named Mark Sandman Square in his honor, and the sign, as well as his memory, remains to this day.
