A big loss. I saw him in the late 80s at show with an extensive lineup, festival style. I wasn't expecting much, mostly because I was looking forward to the other bands, but he blew me away to the point that I can't remember anyone else who played that day! Wonderfully talented and you could just sense his huge heart which filled the room.
