A friend and I were spellbound when I picked up an album of his and we played it. It was the "Hall of Fame" one with the plaque on the cover. It doesn't seem fitting to mention this at this time, but we were also amazed to see that the word "influential" was misspelled on the plaque, and thus also on the record cover, as "influencial." Anyway ... very much not the point here. He produced some of the sweetest sounds I've heard, and this news is like a punch in the chest this morning. Thanks for the article. The bit about Jerry Garcia seems so typical too. Well, thanks for recording technology is all I can say -- the joy and sharing live on beyond the man himself. |
