he was "the" studio musician in the sixties, and beyond. got into cocaine and then freebase. i believe he had been cleaned up for a long time up until he fell off the wagon a few years ago - briefly, thankfully.

i worked at his old house up at the top of hollywood hills for a tv show a few years back. was quite a beautiful place when he built it in the 60's. great location with amazing views (about 240 degrees).

didn't know he had a new album out. thanks for the heads up.
