I am old and hearing his loss was deeply sad, not surprising, just sad. Another light dimmed and especially one who in my youth I knew as an actor who also sang. Janis delivered him to 12 year old me ( benefits of older siblings).
I think of how deaths sadden us and reflect on how well Gerard Manley Hopkins wrote "Ah! ás the heart grows older
It will come to such sights colder
By and by, nor spare a sigh
Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie;
And yet you wíll weep and know why"
I treasure his genius and mourn his passing and as a fellow Chris applauded his Kris, nodding to the oft unrealised fact C has no sound in English.
Beautiful words Chris. Despite saying it’s not sad, I too am deeply sad, and losing our lights like this makes us all lose our footing a little. Thank you for sharing here.
You are the first person I thought of when I read the news 💔
I like to be mingled with Kris in your brain x

Freedom is another word for nothin left to lose.
Vale Kris

A star was indeed born this week. The night sky shines a little brighter.
And less than two weeks after JD Souther.
And so they go...
