[He was one of my first musical loves](http://news.lycos.com/news/story.asp?section=MyLycos&storyId=785449). ☹

Lost to a heart attack at only 54! This can’t be right. I’m going to have to stop reading and watch the friggin’ news.

Gah, I’ll miss you _so_ much.

Sorry **Eve**! I tried searching _and_ looking but couldn’t get the damn board to cooperate.

I’ll just slink off now and hang my head in shame.

Sorry—didn’t mean to snap at you, dear. That’s just a pet peeve of mine, when half-a-dozen threads on the same topic get started simultaneously. I’d be a _very_ short-trempered Mod.
