He was 96, but that doesn't make my heart hurt less. His autobiography Talking to Myself changed my life. Everything I know about listening I learned from him, the original rockstar with a tape recorder.
Here's a long obit.
Safe travels, friend.

Oh my, what a wonderful guy and creative person! "Take it easy, but take it." Just good.
ReplyDeleteSadly, I've just heard of him now...
I just started reading "Division Street America" today and am already in love with it.
ReplyDeleteWhen you get a chance, check out Working. It is great.
ReplyDeletePlease tell me that you found Division Street in the thrift store!
