^ I'm going to start tonight. Going to do his recent solo album as well shortly, which easily could have been a magma track with some minor alterations.

I had heard a few? years ago that he was dealing with health issues. I'm such a huge ONE SHOT fan and I believe that was where I first heard him.

Yeah, he had cancer, and I believe in the end that is what he succumbed too.

That's a bummer. I know he missed the last tour I saw them on because of a cancer diagnosis. Not sure what type.
I'll never forget the first time I saw the section of Theusz Haamtahk were he plays the little jazzy melody duet with Stella. One of my favorite musical moments of all time. R.I.P. |
