Ditto, many hours and still listen to his CD's (yes, I LIKE not having my only music "in the cloud". Wonderful lyrics. Later as a married adult saw him in concert 4-5 times. Drew on a lot of personal stories and experiences for his lyrics to a great extent, in many ways similar to Bob Seger's story telling lyric writing style. Had searched Florida and Georgia on this latest tour hoping to see him perform one more time before he retired from all touring. Then, the tour was abruptly cancelled when he became ill and was hospitalized. What a loss, what a talent.
