Irreplaceable voice, irreplaceable man.

And yes, somehow I find his "Butcher Boy" coming to mind too, and how hair-raising it was to hear him sing it. Ever after I would keep two versions of the song in my head" Buell Kazee's Kentucky one, and Tommy's.

Not only power in that voice, but something wonderfully dynamic, full of energy, humor, wit ...

Fare thee well, Tommy, and thanks for all the fine music you've left us.
