RIP: DANNY FEDERICI

 Danny Federici, the longtime keyboard player for Bruce Springsteen whose stylish work helped define the E Street Band's sound died Thursday. He was 58. Federici, who had battled melanoma for three years, died at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.
 
 While not a fan of latter-day Bruce, Phyl and I saw him twice back in 1979/80, and Danny was an integral part of the E Street experience.
Bruce and the band were scheduled to play up the road in Orlando tonight, but postponed the show.
Sorry to see you go Danny...too young (it's always too young).
