My sympathy goes out to his family, friends and millions of admiring fans. This makes me very sad. He was, by all accounts, a wonderful person. He will be missed.

The first and only time I heard John perform live was in a small coffee house in Ottawa, Ont. in the 70's. It was a staple in that city that catered to people with a passion for good acoustic music. Place probably didn't hold more than 150 people. Surprisingly, they had some very talented musicians and most weren't well known at the time but others were.

That night John was playing second act to Jerry Jeff Walker (after his Mr. Bojangles song was out). A very special night I will remember forever.
