RIP David Lindley

Lindley was brilliant with multiple instruments, best known for his work with Jackson Browne and his own band El-Rayo X. I was lucky to see him a few times, including a great show in the 80s, when he was having a big moment. In person he was funny, eccentric, and endlessly musically inventive. And of course that Nasby & Crosh t-shirt!

@tablejockey, thank you so much for posting those videos. I’d seen the SNL performance but I hadn’t caught Henry Kaiser’s "Requiem." It’s WONDERFUL.

I was a big fan. Still listen to his music a lot. Check out, for example, his versions of "Gimme Da Ting," "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" and "Werewolves of London," all on the "Very Greasy" album. I wish I had seen him live.
