I really miss him and thought I'd post some of his music: I love the guitar in this one: Carmelita Underrated: Vera Cruz The song I play in my car when I drive to court for a jury trial: Lawyers, Guns and Money From his last appearance on David Letterman. Remember to "enjoy every sandwich": Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner We all have this problem: My Shit's fricked Up A fitting good-bye: Keep Me In Your Heart My Favorite: Desperados Under the Eaves He had so many others. R.I.P., WZ

IMHO with a handful of exceptions ("Long Long Time") LR's best work were her Songbook albums with Nelson Riddle et al Frankly I don't care much for the '70s El Lay school aside from WZ

I had the "What's New" album and she did a great version of "Someone To Watch Over Me".
