I was just thinking we've still got all the recordings.  Haha.  Kind of overlooks the person, but the recordings are here whether the person is dead or alive.

Yep, but we still have the recordings.  That's the only way I knew of him.

And, even though he's dead, if you record a piece he recorded, you'll still be competing against him for sales and ears.  Amusing.
