What a year, we've lost so many good peoples in 2009. Widespread Panic covered alot of his tunes and turned me on to him, he will be missed. 12stringwilson Junior Username: 12stringwilson Post Number: 46 Registered: 12-2008 Posted on Wednesday, December 30, 2009 - 12:31 pm:    Aunt Avis, Bug, Arthur Murray, Sleeping Man...the list goes on and on. His voice was hauntingly good. hydrargyrum Senior Member Username: hydrargyrum Post Number: 738 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Wednesday, December 30, 2009 - 12:56 pm:    I also learned of him through Widespread Panic (and his brief appearance in the movie Slingblade). There was a startling honesty in his music that people rarely feel comfortable showing. I wouldn't say he was one of my favorite songwriters, but in a sea of mediocrity, he was certainly a unique and compelling personality.
