So saddened to hear this. Such a great man and an amazing perspective on life. In his late 70's he was counting down the days to his 80th birthday when he planned to start smoking again, unconcerned about the health ramifications. We dressed up in dark suits and bought fedoras on his last pass through Edmonton. It felt like an honour to be there to watch him play. The respect that he poured out to the musicians and singers, and the crowd, was so geniune. An amazing person and a great Canadian.
