I remember reading a piece ...Rest in Peace, Gil. <br /><br />I remember reading a piece on him last year or so. Probably when his last album came out - maybe it was the New Yorker. Apparently drugs had a hold on him to be feared - he never let it go. Or maybe it's the other way around.<br /><br />Like many, wasn't a huge fan, but liked a lot Johannesburg-era stuff. Just realized as I listened to this video again, that, to my ears, the guitar part has a very Nick Drake vibe to it. Someone had REALLY good ears to have envisioned this version of the song from the Callahan original.<br /><br />Anyway, always a tradgedy when someone passes like this.<br /><br />RichDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-77985854112591231992011-05-28T09:47:03.231-04:002011-05-28T09:47:03.231-04:00Man, I hadn't seen a picture of him in years. ...Man, I hadn't seen a picture of him in years.
