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!

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 stringsā€¦ 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?

Yet another great musician gone. I fear the next ten years (or even the rest of this decade) will be brutal, at least as far as the 60's and 70's generations of musicians is concerned.
