Great singer songwriter he had a great album out in the early 70's called "Striking it rich" it had " I scare myself" and canned music playing him last night.
Sorely missed died of cancer.

Sad news! :(

Christ, what a year already....

Sad, sad news.

Striking it Rich is a perfect record, no fillers, every track a gem. Beautiful, original and witty music of the highest calibre.

We're losing them faster than we're replacing them.....

Didn't know of him or his music, but still sad news...

Mmmm... never really heard of him but I certainly do know "I Scare Myself" and yes, they are passing on quicker than we are replacing them. I worry about the future and I am not talking global warming.

Heard of him, but not heard him. Still another one of the old guard musicians passing, sad news.

Ah yes, I know that song! However, the Thomas Dolby version is the one I'm familiar with (from my era):

Didn't know that Dan Hicks did the original. Interesting :)

Claire Martin does a fabulous version as well.
