The sound of this man singing and playing brought a smile to my face countless times.

What a summer this has been so far.

Now we can say "A Truly Great Man Has Died". Wow this sux in a big way.  This man truly was a Genius. His version of America the Beautiful is my favorite of ANY version. Watching that man w/ his smile tinkling the ivories was always a good time.
