I always liked him. He always looked like he was having a ball when he performed. |

Interesting, but rather lacking.
I really wonder why none of the Media has picked up on this... curiouser and curiouser....

Interesting too how he influnced ovation pups. I remember seeing him play a country artist too, though I don't think that was his main axe. |

Sorry to see him go.
In other sad news, Don LaFontaine died yesterday, as well.
He's the voiceover guy you all know and love from all the movie trailers... "In a world, where blah blah"... |

| Not being a big country fan, I do have to say ya had to love this guy no matter what your preference. He was funny and he was a truly natural entertainer, it was fun to watch him and he really did look like he loved every minute of life. A Good musician as well. All the icons are leaving us. |

Location: SoCal | You know, he really hadn't played any guitar for a few years. His health was bad. You just hate to a hero go, especially at a young age. He was only 71. Man, he played great guitar and composed great tunes for the guitar. Very much so an original. All the great fingerpickers you see today owe so much to him.... |

Location: Tennessee | Most people will probably remember him for his talents as a character actor, and the rest will remember him for his "novelty" song hits (When You're Hot, Amos Moses, etc,). Only a very few know him for the true depth of his talents. I wish him (and his loved ones) peace. |
