      Wow. Really is no break from music tragedy this year, is there? I know some of those who've died were up there in years (especially Leonard Cohen) but it's hard to think of a single calendar year where so many talents have gone.

        my generation is just beginning to fade from this earthly confine.....

        the string of epitaphs will continue with increasing frequency, i fear...

        what we are obligated to do is honer their creative art & share their gifts with younger generations.

          Leon was a great piano player, and an accomplished songwriter and singer too. My favourite footage of him is on the J.J. Cale DVD "In Session at the Paradise Studios" recorded in 1979. Below is a photo of him from that DVD, aged 37. He clearly favoured the 'older look' from an early age.
