I see that songwriter Jerry Jeff Walker passed away from throat cancer.  He was 78 years old. He wrote the song 'Mr. Bojangles'.

A very all-time favorite song of mine.  He was masterful.  Very sad to read this.

I saw that too. That song is one that gets in your brain and you find yourself singing to it (in your brain) all day.
