I hadn't really come across Oliver until this summer when Toronto friends told me about him and gave me a copy of his Camino cd. Jaw-droppingly heart-grabbingly beautiful music. I felt compelled to listen to the whole thing start to finish in a dimly lit room on my own with no distractions. It's not often that music without words can move me to smiles and tears on the first listen. I only wish I'd had chance to see him play.

My deepest sympathies to his loved ones too.
