Holy fuck... sad news. One of my absolute fave bands and he was one hell of a banjo player.

This is a clip from a live DVD I have of theirs. How well he plays would be astonishing for anyone, let alone when you consider how old he is here. http://youtu.be/GR0UWSDfRx8Also, this should be moved to Non Metal.

What I mean is it's likely he didn't know much about it. Hell yeah, seems he was happy and looking to the future when he died. That sucks in a way, but is also great in that he wasn't fearing or even aware of his own coming death.
