Covid-19, age 73. Rolling Stone obit.

Possibly the best love song ever written; I always thought it was Steve Goodman.

When he came down with Covid-19 I knew it was only a matter of time.

I've loved his stuff since the 1970's.

There are several good videos at the Rolling Stone link. Bad news about sad music was just exactly what I didn't need tonight.

Not all his songs are sad. Quite a few a funny and there's a video of him singing "That's the Way the World Goes 'Round" in a kitchen in which we learn of the "Happy Enchilada" song.

Really loved the guy.

Here is one of his songs that has always made me smile:

In Spite of Ourselves

(an interesting recent video, obviously)

One of the greats. RIP.

He was still creating new material in just the last few years.

Love that mix of technologies!
Thanks for that video, Unagi. It's a great reminder that he could make me cry, he could make me laugh, but he always made me smile.
