I didn't hear of him until I saw the obit. I've been listening to his stuff all morning. Great music!

I remember one night about 12 years ago ... I was working a double shift because my closing framer called in sick, I'd had an awful day anyway before that bad news, and around about 8 pm or so, 13 hours into my workday, screwed up a frame I was building which used a special-order framestick ... two-week delay on a $900 sale.

Then this came on the radio, and while it didn't fix anything that had gone wrong that day, it sure put me into a better headspace:





Thanks, Hugh.
