Paul
deLay wrote the haunting lament "Remember Me," after his mother, and
the mothers of three band members, passed away during a two-year-period in the
late 1990s. It was released on the
Paul deLay Band's Heavy Rotation CD (Evidence Music) in 2001.
Paul
deLay passed away on March 7 from complications due to late stage leukemia,
diagnosed only days earlier. For more see John Foyston's piece in the Portland
