He was a good one! Sad to see him go.

I listened to The Velvet Underground & Nico and Live at Max's Kansas City so many times. I'll Be Your Mirror is a very beautiful song, which seems like an extremely inadequate way to describe it but I can't do no better.

 

71's not bad but I was hoping he would last a bit longer.
