Just Kidding, I am going to go to the guitar store and tell them (I am a drummer) that I want to play just like this fella.

1. He died on my birthday

It was a sad one that year.

[aquaman]

I used to play in a band.....

that the guitarist played just like him, it was soooo much fun. Too bad he threw his guitar at my head when I told him that his timing was off.

6. I think his helicopter crashed at Alpine Valley in WI after a concert?

I was pretty young then, but I remember my dad going on a rant about musical geniuses meeting an untimely end, yet barbara streisand would probably live forever.
