Oh wow!!!!!!!!! I remember this song, as soon as I heard the news, I could hear it in my mind. But I've seen that video, or any video of him. How cool. And sad.

I listened to Land of Make Believe about a thousand times. It introduced me to Esther State field, so a bonus. RIP.

Seems like more and more musicians around my age are dying. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. RIP Chuck Mangione.
