Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

See, there's a good example - Chet Atkins, the amazing finger picking master - all his knowledge, skill and creativity is now gone. There will be no more new Chet Atkins songs - ever again.

I'm very sorry for your loss, dag. I hope you got to say goodbye and make peace with what happened. If there's anything you need or want, you have only to ask.
I'm with Aubrey too. Hopefully death will be cured in our lifetimes.

What about Geddy Lee? Or Billy Sheehan? Victor Wooten? Jean Baudin? Larry Graham? Louis Johnson? Norwood Fisher? Flea? Les Claypool? Mick Karn?
