On December 18th, Tony Cuffe (Scottish singer and guitarist, onetime member of Alba, Ossian, Jock Tamson's Bairns and the Windbags)passed away from cancer. I'm away from home and my usual sources (hence the guest tag) or I'd write a true obituary. But I wondered if anyone would care to share memories of Tony. I knew him since he came to live in the US in about 1989 or so. He was so good as a musician and singer, and so nice as a person, that I often felt he was underrated and underappreciated. He wasn't into self-promotion, just songs and music, and his singng could bring tears to my eyes. Now they're there again.
