RIP David Lindley

Lindley was brilliant with multiple instruments, best known for his work with Jackson Browne and his own band El-Rayo X. I was lucky to see him a few times, including a great show in the 80s, when he was having a big moment. In person he was funny, eccentric, and endlessly musically inventive. And of course that Nasby & Crosh t-shirt!

2023 first quarter not good for guitar slingers

Beck, Rossington and now Lindley.

Hope to NOT see the list grow.

You and me, both...

I saw Lindley 3 times-- twice on his own and once with El Rayo X. 

Never managed to catch J. Beck live.

@tablejockey, thank you so much for posting those videos. I’d seen the SNL performance but I hadn’t caught Henry Kaiser’s "Requiem." It’s WONDERFUL.
