introduced me to so much great music. I remember him being so excited "you gotta hear this, you gotta hear this" and played Roundabout for me. (He was a talented guitarist himself.)

More "gotta hear this" was most of Frank Zappa's catalogue lol.

Hearing this brings him so close to my heart right now. It gives me the idea to make a nostalgic playlist for the little gathering we'll eventually have in his memory

Thanks so much for posting this; it turned out to really mean a lot
