Don't know why you had a downvote there, you're absolutely right. Playing with live people and performing is completely different, and more important, than playing to backing tracks.

I heard from his son that he's back home near family, I won't go into details here for privacy's sake.

I had a friend go to Winnebago Mental Health Institute in Oshkosh Wi, and was told of constant abuse and neglect from the employees. And looking at other people's experiences I've read, she wasn't alone in experiencing this. Being someone in this field, is there anything anyone can do to help stop abuse in this and other facilities? I feel powerless to do anything but feel like I should do something.

Nice! Great guys, I miss them

My family used to sell merch for his newer band with Chris Aaron and I took lessons from the bassist around that time. It was a similar story with that band unfortunately, he had one of the best voices in blues. If you have the chance, check out Chris Aaron Band (or American Standard as they became.)
