His passing was easy to take because I had just caught my first Dark Star 23 days earlier. His keyboard work set Phil up to bring in the bass and get that tune going. I joined the band right after he did.

So important in the development of my favorite era. Was never the same when he passed. There was a really great interview with Jerry in rolling Stone that summer where he really opened up like never before. Interest began to wane, the beginning of my appreciation of Emmylou and the Nashville Ramblers. Off the top of my head I think of the Long Beach 81 Shakedown how he and Jerry riled off each other and the Blow Away from 4/8/89
