Unexpectedly, keyboardist T. Lavitz, of DIXIE DREGS fame, passed away in his sleep on October 7th - he was only 54.
 
More news at http://www.glidemagazine.com/hiddentrack/in-memorium-t-lavitz-1965-2010/ and http://www.jambands.com/news/2010/10/12/t-lavitz-1956-2010 
 
But mostly, at http://www.tlavitz.net/  -  "It is with profound sadness we announce that T died unexpectedly in his sleep on the night of October 7, 2010. He will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and the world of music."

As a long time Dregs and T fan, I am really sad to hear about this.  Thanks for sharing, I did not know.  Fortunately, I got to see him play live more times than I can count.  When Mark Parrish bowed out of the Dregs, he was an excellent replacement.

Thanks for all the great music Mr. Lavitz.

By the way for those who didn't get a chance to see him live, he can be seen in a re-formed Dregs here: Sects, Dregs & Rock 'n' Roll
