A Lament for Jubilant

This is very sad, all the more horrible, coming as it does during the holiday season. Jubilant Sykes appeared in the world’s great opera houses and sang the Celebrant on a Grammy-nominated album of Leonard Bernstein’s “Mass.”

He died on Monday of stab wounds allegedly inflicted by his son.

Sykes was 71 years old.

R.I.P.

        Classic Ross Amico That fits the profile for this sort of murder. Too many families have one or more suffering from some sort of mental illness. So sad. “In the world you will have tribulation…”
