They play his song on the local radio here frequently.  Kind of nice to know that he went more traditionally than so many people he grew up with.

That's freaky. I was singing People Who Died under my breath last night. RIP.

[Chris P.]

RIP.

Well, a strange story.


Around '93 I was taping a radio show on cassette because one of my heroes was performing live. Just before he appeared they broadcasted this song and I loved it! I listened to that tape a zillion times till it was totally worn out and I liked this song more than the live performance of my hero. But I never new who he was and I searched for this song for ages! Later I forgot, internet came on, but I never searched. Sometimes the song would pop up in my mind, and even if I haven't listened to the song for years I knew all the words, the guitar solo... And now I finally know which song it is, but because of the dead of the guy. Strange.
