He will be missed.

I had just heard about a new cd made by them (or a few others as well, not sure) on the radio and was telling my dad about this, when he told me one of them had died. Such a shame. I love their music.

I guess we should be happy that in the last decade they had the chance to record a lot of their music as their musical inheritance.

Tonight I was watching a pop quiz and they asked which member of the BVSC had died this year. Apparently they had taped it earlier. Weird question to hear though.
