Here's Andy at a NYC club in 1982, and one of my favorite songs of his, "What's Wrong With This Picture?"
And here's a studio track he wrote and played the Rick on. "Excuses Excuses." If there is a better ballad -- by anybody -- from the last four decades, I have yet to hear it.
I have joked in these precincts, on several occasions, that a Rickenbacker 12-string guitar, well played, is the most beautiful sound occurring in nature. Thanks to Andy's genius and generosity, I was lucky enough to stand stage left from that sound on more occasions than I can count.

He wasn't just a member of the Floor Models. He was the soul of that band.
"Excuses, Excuses" is one of those songs that any songwriter of worth wishes he/she had written.
