A really cool cat. I had some of his albums in the 70s.

Oh man... sad to hear. I listened to his syndicated weekly program on 'BEZ late sunday night all the way through the '90's. They got more and more evocative, and weirder too as time went on. His ability to take the listener on a trip deep into one's imagination always seemed like something of a magic trick. Robert Ashley has a similar effect.
