Thanks for the update,Pete. Sad news indeed.But I can't help but think we
have not heard the last of this guy.Makes me want to listen to his stuff as
well as music by all of the artists you mentioned.And the first one will be
"Swag" only for it's sheer rush .A great blast of pop at it's finest.
He'll be back...
NP- Swag- "I'll Get by" [oh yeah this is great!]
