There’s no way to measure his greatness or magnitude as a person or as a player. I don’t think any eulogizing will do him justice. He was that great, much more than a superb musician, with an uncanny ear and dexterity. He’s the very spirit personified of whatever is Muddy River country at its core and screams up into the spheres. He really had no equal. To me he wasn’t only a musician and friend, he was more like a big brother who taught and showed me more than he’ll ever know. There’s a lot of spaces and advances between The Carter Family, Buddy Holly and, say, Ornette Coleman, a lot of universes, but he filled them all without being a member of any school. His playing was moody, awesome, sophisticated, hypnotic and subtle. There’s no way to convey the loss. It just digs down really deep...BOB DYLAN

I can see why Coltrane is well loved. His sax playing is amazing. I really don't get Monk. Very intriguing. He can play piano, but I really don't get what seems like random notes here and there.
I was blessed to get to meet John Hartford a few times. One of the most interesting men I've ever met. He was one of a kind!
Forgotten gem in my collection. Love all of Bruce, but this may be one of his best!

Was a witness of this tour and many others of Claypool’s concerts in the aughts.
I haven't mentioned Johnny Mathis yet. He truly has one of the great voices amongst American singers. I swear to God he could sing the phone book, and I would be there listening to all of it. I saw him once. He came to KC to sing at the Kauffman Center. Seats about 1800. There were a few guys there and a sea of blue hairs.

You ask how much I need you, must I explain?
I need you, oh, my darling, like roses need rain
You ask how long I'll love you, I'll tell you true
Until the 12th of never, I'll still be loving you
Hold me close
Never let me go
Hold me close
Melt my heart like it will snow
I'll love you 'til the bluebells forget to bloom
I'll love you 'til the clover has lost its perfume
I'll love you 'til the poets run out of rhyme
Until the 12th of never, and that's a long, long time
Until the 12th of never, and that's a long, long time
