Though I knew of him, I don't recall ever hearing any of his music. I didn't have any of his albums and no one in the circles I ran in apparently listened to his music or at least didn't talk about it..<br /><br />He made his place in music history though kind of under the radar I guess.<br /><br />My father and brother-in-law both died of cancer at age 67. I'm shooting for making it at least that far though I hope I can go beyond that. These days 69 seems so young especially when you still see a lot of rockers still performing and recording. <br /><br />Hope you had a great cruise!<br /><br />Lee <br />An A to Z Co-Host <br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587309093892894426.post-69690885834962935682014-04-14T10:12:30.305-07:002014-04-14T10:12:30.305-07:00Agreed, Bryan-not everyone is going to change the ...Agreed, Bryan-not everyone is going to change the world, but making a living at what you love is a lot better than most of the world gets to do.DiscConnectedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013919800637508392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587309093892894426.post-15104863735083566972014-04-14T08:18:15.724-07:002014-04-14T08:18:15.724-07:00I had not heard of him either, but your comment ab...I had not heard of him either, but your comment above says it all. I know many artists that are this level of famous, and while some might say "it's a shame he wasn't a household name" I say this guy was obviously big enough to garner some attention and do what he wanted to do full time. I'd call that a successful life.A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587309093892894426.post-66852349915973536872014-04-13T19:51:39.281-07:002014-04-13T19:51:39.281-07:00A lot of the artists I follow do not have the huge...A lot of the artists I follow do not have the huge success but get to live life the way they want to.<br /><br />And that's something....DiscConnectedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013919800637508392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587309093892894426.post-69042328610205164902014-04-13T19:50:53.572-07:002014-04-13T19:50:53.572-07:00I just got back from "Cruise To The Edge,&quo...I just got back from "Cruise To The Edge," and many of the artists on the ship were in the same age range as Jesse.<br /><br />I'm not so far behind him.<br /><br />You think you have all the time in the world...<br /><br />LCDiscConnectedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013919800637508392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587309093892894426.post-43324790933224281772014-04-13T18:44:50.589-07:002014-04-13T18:44:50.589-07:00I hadn't heard of him, I admit it.
