These tragic events are always so sad. A great artist whose talent and insight touched the lives of so many is gone but his songs remain until we and they fade away too.

In ~1967, Nash performed at the elementary school I attended. I missed the performance due to illness, but my brother attended and told me about it. I thought he was joking. Nash apparently performed at many schools in the area for free.

Great loss, from every point of view, as I think. Furthermore, I think everibody will agree. Few people are so ... So good.
