It is unbelievable to me how one person could have influenced as much as this man has and does; still does, every day. A life so so so well lived and someone who truly has made the world a better place and made the lives around him fuller in the process. If not for him, my very own memories fostered through the music that he exposed me to during my life time would be significantly altered. All of our memories, everyone that may read this. How astonishing is that? How absolutely, remarkably astonishing is that!!! Think about it for a second. I am 53 years old, his life's work HAS been the soundtrack of MY own life! I am so very very grateful!
