What a tremendous loss, a true treasure trove of talent. His self titled album has always been on my desert island list, not a bad song on it. His contributions through the years will never be matched again. He will be missed with deep sorrow.

Dang! This getting old is difficult enough without losing all these people that contributed to our enjoyment through the years.

@islandmandan Re: What can we do about it.,I,ll be 64 in February, only thing I can think of to do is exercise while listening to music every day, can’t think of two things better for you, diet of course, but hey we do the best we can. Love your system btw. 

Very tasty licks and a fantastic song writer. The Band changed the direction of music.

Bikeboy, thanks for the positive words about my system. Only worry is to keep it all working,, but, just like me (76 YOA), some of it's getting old.

But that's a minor worry, equipment can be repaired or replaced, however, we listeners, sometime there isn't any fix. Just keep smiling every day, as most of the time it's how I chosse it to be.

There's just me and my Dementia affected wife, but amazingly, we still manage to laugh and have fun. And it's so good to think of our kid/grandkids, too.

Well, I've got my exceptional-sounding Paul Birkeland designed and built 812 power amp all ready to go. I better go listen to it, and the stuff it's connected to.

I forgot to mention the stroke I had a couple of years ago, body right side is numb (a good bit of it anyway), but I can still walk, talk and enjoy life anyway. Attitude is everything.

Have a great weekend, and a great summer!

Regards,

Dan
