He was a groove master. May he rest in peace.

I'm sure they will interior-design a "16th (or even 32th!) heaven" for him, a mere seventh heaven just won't accomodate his talent.  8)

One of a few HUGE influences on my playing (the others being Johnny B. Gayden and Kenny Gradney). His mark on the trade is undeniably indelible. He will be missed.
"I think it's only proper that I play until the last note of a set, then fall over and die. The band won't have to play an encore and they'll still get paid for the gig" (Dr. John)

rip... :sad:
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

With his playing style, wouldn't he appreciate a ripipipipip! more?
