Most of us old guys first knew of him through Harrison and the Beatles, circa '66/'67. But, a very talented musician and man. Saw him live in NYC back in the '90s, and even though I play/played some decent guitar, it was a remarkable evening watching and listening to him play and speak about many topics, in a theater in the round situ. Hope he and Harrison are jamming up in the clouds.
