thanks for the great music...

yeah - but the dude was a year younger than me! so I guess that makes it that bit harsher.

i was hoping this thread was a bad joke.

A great musical inspiration is lost before his time. This is an unbelievable loss.

... fahrenheit fair enough and map of what is effortless are among my favourite lp... i had the opportunity to see them live @nouveau casino some years ago and it was sonically mind blowing... this morning i was so happy to listen for the first time (and enjoy) to their brand new album... and now this... he was so young... sad day indeed

Anyone know what he died of?

Ugh. I grew up in New Orleans. The fact that music like theirs came from such a heavily blues/jazz influenced place always inspired me.

This sucks.

Crushing piece of news. So tragic.

Thoughts to his family, Joshua and everyone close to him.
