Sad news.

I'm no aficionado but three of his songs have always struck we and stuck in my consciousness.

'If You Could Read My Mind'

'The ghost of the Edmund Fitzgerald'

'Sundance'

Great songs.

I cant claim to be an aficionado but he was rated by lots of people I rate so maybe I've missed out. I heard on the radio v early this morning that "art-rockers" Janes Addiction had covered one of his tunes which is intriguing. Can any say which one; I'm wondering if I dreamt the whole thing.

So many great songs, will be sadly missed.

Pedants corner : The 'Wreck' of the Edmund Fitzgerald

I'm an idiot.

'The wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald'.

That's sad, I found him via watching Due South, and Paul Gross' tribute to the Wreck, 32 down on the Robert McKenzie. 

Sad, really liked his music.
