At least, we expected it, knew since a while that he was sick. The boots are through walking i guess.

Anybody's got a favourite recording of him ?

Most of his stuff came out from Sweden and it was a little too expensive for my tastes.

Sad news.

Yup, he'd been sick for a while.

After "Fresh Air" interviewed him

and the new CD was released

(of which he knew it would be his last),

I featured about a dozen of his recordings

on a rodcast and had some nice comments

from some folks thru the Last.FM site.

It was nice to have a "sit 'n' listen" session

and absorb how his style changed throughout the years.

An original with a fine flair for lyrics -

quirks and all - and a captivatingly deep voice -

a kind of country music parallel to Kevin Ayers.
