So sad to see this, he was one of my favorites and this song is a top 10 of mine all time. I had the pleasure to bring him to perform at the Boise River Festival in 1994 and he brought his wife and child along and we gave them the tour and they were really nice people. I told him that he had the honor of having one of my all time top 10's and was "Trinidad" on the set list and he said it was. Before he played it, he thanked me for bringing them in and dedicated the song to me. Gotta tell ya, when they played that, I teared up, can you imagine having one of your all time top 10's dedicated to you? I just had to break into a little air guitar for the outro.

I was wondering what I might be doing this evening and I can wonder no more. Man, this is getting tough spending an evening listening to some of my favorites after they've passed. Might have to make it the entire weekend as I did for Tom Petty.

I know this sounds strange but I am relieved that he didn't take his own life or have some drug overdose. Too many taking that way out and when your perception is "this guy had everything, why would he do that" it shakes your world. He had a good life and from seeing his family, he lived it right. 70 still seems too young, especially to someone hitting 72 in less than a week as it brings mortality front and center.

But I am left to wonder with his voice the way it was and singing and at times straining it, did that contribute to the type of cancer he had? Make him more susceptible to that?
