Another well-regarded session guy who was little known to the public.

RIP

I was first introduced to him via Brand X's "Product"  and "Do They Hurt?" albums. Great, great player. RIP

Very sad.  A couple years ago Kate Bush's live "Before the Dawn" set was my most-listened album. He plays great with Omar Hakim on that.
Basses: Gibson lpb-1, Gibson dc jr tribute, Greco thunderbird, Danelectro dc, Ibanez blazer.  Amps: genz benz shuttle 6.0, EA CXL110, EA CXL112, Spark 40.  Guitars: Danelectro 59XT, rebuilt cheap LP copy
