RIP David Lindley

Lindley was brilliant with multiple instruments, best known for his work with Jackson Browne and his own band El-Rayo X. I was lucky to see him a few times, including a great show in the 80s, when he was having a big moment. In person he was funny, eccentric, and endlessly musically inventive. And of course that Nasby & Crosh t-shirt!

Truly one of my personal favorite guitar players.  
Wonderful soulfulness with highly expressive melodic beauty.  
Thanks, David.

There was no guitarist who played like him. He was brilliant and original, and he really knew how to squeeze the emotion out of a song. I'll always love his brilliant playing oh the Crosby Nash wind on the water disc.

He could play anything with strings… an incredible talent who will be sorely missed.

Always enjoyed his playing. I can't remember, though. Did I see him live once? Did I actually meet him?
