The setting sun peeks through a break in the clouds near the horizon, and casts an orange glow on the lower clouds. The upper clouds are grey and white, scattered in front of a blue sky. The colors are reflected in the calm river below, and the shoreline is silhouetted by the dusk light.

So sad to hear this.
I have enjoyed the YT videos he and his wife have made over the last few years, telling the back story to the Dominos and so much music that he was a part of
Thank you for all of the music..
Rest in peace, sir.
And condolences to his wife Coco and all of his family and friends.
