[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.

Mods:

So sorry for double posting this. My computer said it didn’t go through the first time. I’ve already emailed, so could someone be so kind as to please close the duplicate without replies?

Thanks much!

Somewhere in heaven Mr Palmer is surrounded by glamorous ice-queen women with slicked-back hair and guitars.

I first heard him doing Sneaking Sally Thru The Alley. That album, along with Clues, were my favorites.

His cover of “Not A Second Time” by The Beatles is just awesome.

I’m very bummed about his death. Way too young. ☹
