What a loss! I so recall 'Running on Empty' as it was a theme for our family during a very difficult time back in those days. On the upside, we all have the legacy of his music and talent and it is substantive! BTW...it is no surprise that Dave collaborated with Ry Cooder as both were very eclectic musicians. I still have the CD of his Buena Vista Social Club! I am sure that Ry is feeling this loss deeply as are the so many other musicians who worked with David Lindley. RIP & Music
