Sad indeed. I saw him here in Victoria around 1990. He put on a fantastic show. I was right down in front... at one point he took the guitar off his lap (where he played it in his pedal-steel type orientation) stood up, and stepped off the stage out into the dance floor! You don't really expect that of a blind guy. So, I veer out of the way so that he doesn't land right on me and then start feeding out guitar cable while he wandered around the place soloing... Good times. He was an excellent blues guitar player.
Interestingly enough, his passion for 20-30s blues/jazz led him into that genre over the last decade in which he put out more very cool stuff. I had intended to catch one of those, but never did.
