    Wow. I had the chance to see him in the mid '70s when he was the band leader of Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs tour and was the 1st time I saw a guy multi task. He played a baby grand piano, and then strapped on a old Black Les Paul. More recently I saw him open for Hot Tuna (Dec14) playing only a white baby Yamaha and then he opened for them again a year later(July 15) and sounded great. He looked very frail walked w/ a cane when couldn't otherwise walk used a scooter to get around. Besides all that I just played a Glen Campbell album and he produced a few of the songs. To end this there was a Joe Bonamasa concert from the Greek Theater in L.A. on MTV LIVE and he ended the show w/ a long incredibly beautiful version of Hummingbird.
