Definitely a bad start to this day. Going to jam some CRB and CATS at the office today.

He was a talented cat. Just saw him play during Jazz Fest at Howlin' Wolf with Circles Around the Sun. RIP.

As others have indicated, looks like he set his own terms.

I follow him on IG, and I know the suicide of the Silver Jews front man recently took its toll on Neal.

Yep very sad, according to a good buddy of mine who works in music production, Neal was always the nicest guy on the bus.

Glad I was able to see him preform a few times with CRB and CATS
Give “Stars Fell on a California” a listen today if you haven’t before.

Been struggling with this all morning.

It so crazy to me when someone who is uber talented and loved by everyone and yet still feels so alone and isolated that they take their own life. Depression and the mind are so fricked up.

it is odd that the untalented assholes everyone hates live on and the universally beloved and respected seem to often fall away from us.

i just don't understand it

Maybe that's part of his depression--the fact that others who are inferior in talent get riches and recognition.

Sad. Came to know him through CRB and CATs but in reading up on him, he was well well known in many circles. And by the sound of it, a really good guy. Prayers for his family
