Gary Clark Jr.

Samantha Fish

Grace Potter

Robert Randolph

Carolyn Wonderland

That's just a few in genres I happen to have some interest in.

Someone opened up a closet door and out stepped Johnny B. Goode
Playing guitar like a-ringin' a bell and lookin' like he should
If you gotta play at garden parties, I wish you a lotta luck
But if memories were all I sang, I rather drive a truck.

He had so much music still to make. So young, so talented, so much to live for. Damn it.

As far as I know he was a clean-living religious vegan with a low BMI. Hopefully his death will be granted the dignity of being an illness rather than behaviorally caused for once.
