 I really love that music.   At least he did receive some recognition before his death, but still a sad day.

				| Love his music, am generally not "sad" about the deaths of famous people, even ones such as Ferrer whom I consider treasures, seeing death as ineluctable...and life, sometimes, as even more sad.  Respect his life and am thankful that he was here while he was. |  |
