Billy Preston died Tuesday.  He had been ill for a long time, renal problems due to drug use.  What a tragedy; he was a brilliant musician.  There are lots of terrific pop and rock star who make enjoyable music; Billy was one of the few who had more than that.  An energy of his own that makes a song like "Nothing from nothing" a part of my musicial memories.  He had beautiful skills, and I'm sorry I never got to see him live.

The and what he meant to rock history.
