He will be greatly missed.

I sang and listened to music with him on two continents and shared a couple of adventures with him, as well. He was a regular for quite a few years and I had the pleasure of co-leading a workshop with him. He loved to roam the globe posting interesting tales from who knows where, often visiting other mudcatters,and he even stayed in Laurel MD with me when I lived there. We called him The Travelocity Gnome after a radio and TV advertisement character. He always carried some sort of unique and tasty liquor with him and he would tell wonderful stories on into the night.She he was dismiss of somebody, he would work the phrase "...and the horse you rode in on" into whatever he was saying to the person to whom he spoke. He wrote some good songs both serious and humerous, my favorite being "The Sailor Man Who Never Went To Sea", but then, you might have your own.

He was great company and a unique presence and none of the time I was with him was ever misspent. Again, he will be greatly missed by many.
