Does anybody know or like him? that human being fascinates me

Just looked him up - I think we're talking about the same person. Crazy that he developed ALS, and from such a young age. He sounds like he has a very strong spirit to be able to cope with that.

Thanks for this! Never heard of him but listening to his album Altitudes now. Hmmm...possibly some good tracks for my SN CTB Playlist. Thanks again.

Maybe it works the same as for Hawkins. If your mind lives on its own without the need for a body, then maybe it doesn't matter how handicapt you are...

I know little about his work, only Cacophony's debut album and the one he did record with David Lee Roth, but he was a hell of a guitar player. As a human being, he's a very inspiring person.
