RIP. Although not specifically a fan, it's impossible to subtract that sound from my life, as it was everywhere. And it was not unpleasant.

It's sad to hear he's gone, as he was practically part of the musical framework. I just take comfort knowing that it wasn't COVID-19, since that question sadly has to be asked every day in this era.
