I didn't know that Ralph Towner died.
He was a major player in my emotional life; I saw him in concert many times, often when he toured with the late John Abercrombie, but with many other musicians in various incarnations, including the band Oregon.
There was a certain night, very sad for me as I saw it at the time, a long time ago in San Diego, long before I met my future wife, this piece went right through me.
It turned out to be for the best, but I didn't know it then. I'm an atheist but I always liked this quote from Jean Ingelow: "I have lived to thank God that all my prayers have not been answered."
Anyway:
Ralph Towner
