My friend called me and told me and at first I didn't beleive her. I was simply shocked. And heartbroken. I was going to see him on his tour in May but now... I won't. So sudden. He was only 71!

"You will find me at Noonvale. On the side of a hill. When the summer is peaceful and high. Where streamlets meander the valley is still. 'Neath the blue of a calm, cloudless sky." BJ must be in Noonvale right now if anyone ever was.
