It's a shame to find out this man had died so young. I was thinking about songs that shaped my childhood, and went to google to find out who and what they are. Stumbled upon this and am amazed at the story. Ironically I am thirty five, not far from the age he made it to, but I can say easily 30 years ago and before his music was making an impact on myself and my mother who raised me. It's almost funny how we come to full circle in some ways in the appreciation on music and a body of work. Much love to those who find this corner of the internet, and much respect to this man's work.
