info from the Arkestra on Facebook:
Sad to say Danny Ray 'Pico' Thompson left the planet last night. For decade we traveled the space-ways with Danny and he was loved world-wide. Danny handled many responsibilities for Sun Ra, Marshall and the band.
For Sun Ra, Marshall and many of us Danny was like our brother (from another planet!) and we will miss him dearly.
I'm saddened. Danny Ray was a great guy. I got to hang out with him some in the 70's & 1980 at Reed College, Portland.
