RIP Chris Gaffney (Dave Alvin's Guilty Men, Hacienda Brothers)
« on: April 18, 2008, 10:07:49 PM »
Of liver cancer, he was 57.

Apparently it was just diagnosed at the end of March. Man, he went fast.

ETA: Just realized that both Gaffney and Danny Federici were accordion players, about the same age, and died of cancer on the same day. Spooky.
