since no one mentioned it here, it's down to me. one of the greatest 
keyboardists of all time, and definitely underrated, billy preston has passed on at 
the age of 59 due to various illnesses including kidney failure (been in a coma 
since november).  I had the opportunity to meet him last year at "the fest for 
beatles fans" in new Jersey and it was a very cool experience and he was very 
cool to practically everyone he met. got to shake his hand, talk to him, get 
an autograph, photo, etc.    

so yeah, it's personal. ha. but even if it wasn't, I'd still be typing about 
him.       

we'll miss 'ya billy. and thanks.
