Basvarken:
I've been reading sad news about TM Stevens.
Several websites are mentioning he is suffering from dementia and won't ever play again.

Terrible. 66 years old.  :-[

Dave W:
Very sad. One of the posts on his FB page says he's in the final stages.

Chris P.:
I met him several times and the last couple of years he was hard to love. Drinking an awfull lot, being drunk in an hour, not functioning and leaving the party after an hour and a half, shouting, ... Maybe his abuse of alcohol has something to do with it. Still very sad.

I met him once at Berklee when I was 17 when he did a clinic there. He gave out a bunch of sets of Dean Markley blue steels to all the students. He was very kind and talked to a number of us. He was a larger than life presence but radiantly happy, enthusiastic and good natured from what I could see. This was the summer of 1994. Perhaps his drinking developed as a coping mechanism because he may have already known he was deteriorating. Really cool Deep Purple cover album he put out, aside from his solo and session work.
