Of all the musicians I miss, I think I miss Michael Hedges the most.

Despite a genius that could have led to an unbearable arrogance, he seemed to be a supremely kind, gentle and joyful soul.

1. I miss Jim Croce. I played with him once, but that's not why miss him.

It's because of the guy he was.

2. I miss Layne Staley.

I think Alice in Chains could have been touring like the Stones into their sixties.

3. I miss Duane Allman.

4. I think tonight he is LIVE At the Double Planet!

That fucking guy could play some guitar.
As far as Duane Allman?
Well I once went down to the Whipping Post, and it was Duane that dragged me there.
I miss them both immensely.

5. "Rickover's Dream" from "An Evening With Windham Hill Live."

There was a certain NUANCE on that SPECIFIC version that isn't present on any of his other versions.

I can't explain it, but it reached right down into my SOUL.

He was right on the verge of "beyond cult status" stardom...guys like David Crosby & Graham Nash had begun to pick up on his genius and fold him into their world.

I always felt that his death was a great tragedy, but not as great as the fact that a musician with his talent never became a "household word."

He was the Eddie Van Halen / Jimi Hendrix / Stevie Ray Vaughan of the acoustic world. He did things that had never been done (and haven't been done since).

7. Yes, that is definitely it.

If God has an iPod, that one's on it.

8. I miss Syd Barrett

A musical genius/madman.

I will always love Floyd, but sometimes I wish Syd stopped at the edge; I can only imagine what lyrical/musical soundscapes he would have created.
