“When I die let my ashes float down the Green River

Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam

I’ll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin’

Just five miles away from wherever I am.”

A truly great songwriter and person. Went from being a mailman - with the help of Kristofferson - to being one of the best singer-songwirters out there. Bruised Orange remains one of my top 10 albums of all time. Sure hope he pulls through.
