I’m very sorry to hear that. I loved his work when I was a kid (and still do now). He was playful without being kitschy. He always sounded like he was having fun.

I did sound for him several times in the 80s.  He was an odd duck, and a killer guitar player.

I remember seeing him on SNL back in the day in his White Suit and looking like a real cool cat.  He was a last vestige of an older music style. 


Very sad to hear this news.  Thanks for letting us know.
