There was a documentary made about him last year. He was a pretty amazing guy, and not just for his contribution to music... he came across as a compassionate, philosophical, positive and fun-loving person who would have commanded love and respect no matter what he chose to do with his life.

I've been checking a few music websites on the net this morning and they all have banners and memorial pages set up already.

Thanks for posting the topic Rules ^:|

...in light of what he did for keyboards is at the very least as influential as what Fender did with the guitar.

Sorry to see him pass. ^:)
