How sad! His solo CD is one of my treasured possessions, and I thought his was one of the most attractive voices in Scottish folk music (and beyond). I only saw him once, at the Glasgow Folk Festival in 1994, and have always wished to see him again somewhere. Also, I have two or three bootlegged songs from that gig and now will never be able to ask him about the song 'Time Wears Awa' which he did a beautiful rendering of. Time does indeed wear awa' ...

My sympathy to his family!
