I also remember that he was suffering from a severe case of shingles which had severely affected the use of his right hand and arm. But he bore into his guitar solo as if he were hitting every note spot-on, and the joy on his face was real.
As I think back on my history with the group, it's meeting people like Trini Lopez that I miss more than anything. His appearance on the show was a surprise to me, his demeanor was a surprise, but his heart was real.
