^ 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. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

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. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Yeah, he had cancer, and I believe in the end that is what he succumbed too.  ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

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.
