Scott,
Sorry to hear your weekend was ruined by Will Owsley's sudden departure
from this mortal coil.When any person takes their own life(Kill's
themselves seems a bit trite, crass) it's the people he leaves behind
Wife,Children,Parents etc,who I feel are the only people entitled to
cause/explanation for his actions.
We in the market place, only want to acknowledge his contribution, to
our world of great Pop music,and for that we are eternally grateful.
Our thoughts are with the people, who he left behind,and his memories
will still be spinning on our players for years to come.Thanks for the
music Will,you were one of the greats.
Niall

This whole story has ruined my weekend, no doubt about it. And I dread
telling a friend of mine who's question to me just about everytime we
talk is "so have you heard anything about Owsley putting out another
album?" It seems to be confirmed, but no one seems to have the story
other than he has killed himself. Does anyone know why he chose this
point to do this? Had something happened in the recent past to cause him
to want to kill himself? I ask because I have yet to see anything near
an explanation in any of the stories about what he was despondent about.
