That description gives him short shrift. He was also an incredible bass player and made great contributions to King Crimson (bassist-vocalist on three of their best albums), Roxy Music and Family.

The majority won't know who this is, but a Canadian radio legend died yesterday, Stuart McLean at 68. Without a doubt the best storyteller I've ever heard, he hosted a radio show up here called the Vinyl Café, kind of a Canadian version of a Prairie Home Companion. Many of us grew up listening to him & stories - his Dave & Morley Christmas story is a classic up here. If you/your family loves to hear a good story check him out.
