RIP Danny Federici

Danny Federici, one of the founding members of the E Street Band, passed away yesterday from melanoma cancer, at the age of 58. Danny played keyboards, usually organ, sometimes accordian, and was an integral part of the E Street sound. His musical contributions to such classics as "Sandy", "Incident on 57th Street", and "Backstreets" were monumental. He will be missed. I hope he's somewhere right now, jamming with John Lennon, George Harrison, Jimi Hendrix, Keith Moon, John Entwhistle, and my brother-in-law, Arthur.
