This guy is probably THE worldwide expert on prog, jazz, and metal. In recent days, he had some concerning symptoms, and was discovered to have a large brain tumor, since further diagnosed as “an aggressive brain cancer.”

I think we all know what that means.

Anyway, pray if you do, and think good thoughts if you don’t. He also has a GoFundMe for non-medical expenses; I’ll donate to it.
