It is our loss that it was his time to go. I really liked the guy and his music. A big influence on me.
More and more lately my musical favorites are passing from this earth. There is less and less difference between their ages and mine.
Not meaning to get all spiritual and philosophical, all of this just tells me that I need to make sure that I am living my life the way I know that I should; focusing my attention and love on what is important.
