SMF - Just Installed!
RIP Vince. If there's a heaven we all end up in, it's sure to be filled with wonderful music.
Vince occupied the fatal keyboard slot in the Grateful Dead for their last 5 years. All other keyboardists (except for Bruce Hornsby) have died. He was a sweet soul, and I interviewed him in 2000:http://www.gdforum.com/news/vincetape.ram (realaudio file)It's not confirmed yet, but papers say it looks like suicide.
(Btw, what about Tom Constanten? He was only in the Dead for a short while, but wasn't he considered a member of the band?)
