It is sad, indeed. Even more troubling, for me, is that he's just a
few years older than I am.

Some recent performances I've enjoyed have been the Concert For George
and Clapton's One More Car, One More Rider. Clapton let Billy do Round
in Circles as the last encore.

I will always remember my teen daughter's observation in amazement
when Billy gets out from behind the Hammond and dances. "Dad, he's
like your age and he's dancing like he's a kid!"

Amen, Billy.
