Over 40s only (probably) another one bites the dust..

[Pothole]

Just heard some sad news; legendary (imho) producer Greg Ladanyi has died after falling off a stage ramp on tour in Cyprus. He mastered my all time favourite album, of all time (mate) Jackson Browne's Late for The Sky as well as producing 16 Grammy winning pieces and Don Henley's Boys of Summer. A great loss to West Coast country rock. I'm having a Jackson Browne/Greg Ladanyi evening this evening in memoriam.

Not really my 'bag' but you have to respect the enormous talent of the fellow. Very sad news indeed.
