More bad news. This is deeply upsetting news to me, as I'm sure it is to many music fans. He was simply one of the greatest guitarists ever. He apparently overdosed over Memorial Day weekend, despondent over the recent death of his wife. I was shocked when I heard "overdose" because I don't believe he was a heavy drug user (and I just cannot believe he was a junkie). I encountered him several times while working at J&R Music World. He always seemed to be seeking out some impossibly rare blues or world music CD. A really nice person and, again, one of the greatest guitarists ever.
