  1. This is a lovely clip, beautifully created, with love, clearly. Wow, can't believe it's been thirty years. He was just a kid, too; didn't even make it to fifty (but that hard-scrabble lookin' pic with the cig says it all). BTW, for those who want to know more about this maître de la musique, check this page.

    p.p.s. He died when he was 49 and, 4 + 9 = 13 (which, along with four, is the unluckiest number in the universe, IMO)
