Adventures of an Analog Man in the Digital Universe, with a little help from my friends and relations.

Billy was right, everybody likes some kind of music... One of my favorite album titles, R.I.P. Billy Preston. A Top Five for the Man Who Helped The Beatles Get Back:

1. Little Red Rooster (Sam Cooke's version with some wonderful, playful Organ by Billy)
2. Anything with the Beatles
3. Anything with the Stones
4. Nothing From Nothing (Leaves Nothing)
5. You Are So Beautiful (yes, I know we've heard Joe Cocker's version once too often but a simple elegant song, nonetheless)

With the passing of Vince Welnick, you wonder if there is a third keyboardist on the horizon...

Tuesday night, after a wonderful game of softball, I popped on Let It Be and followed it with Billy's Greatest Hits. The man was just 21 when he first met the Beatles. That's unfathomable. What a talent, a man whose spirit shone through so brightly on every piece of music he touched. I will miss the man and his smile.
