Very sad indeed.
Although he had not been involved in music for decades, his contribution was
manifest and unique and what he represented will be sorely missed.
The music of his was unique and an inspiration to many artists.
I actually wept when I heard the news.
In fact Strictly Personal, when it came out was the 1st album I bought as I
thought then and now that it was the most incredible sound I'd ever heard.
Don Van Vliet you are sorely missed.
Phil
