Robin Gibb 1949-2012

I join music lovers worldwide, in mourning the loss of Robin Gibb. His family has my heartfelt sympathy. Three of four beautiful sons, brothers, husbands, fathers and friends to the world were all done way, way too soon. 

Last night, upon hearing of his death, I immediately posted a YouTube vid of "I Started A Joke", a song that I can play in my mind, without visual or audio aids. Et vous? I decided, instead, to share this video, wherein he speaks to his segue from the genre for which we know him best. Please be sure to find and listen to "Don't Cry Alone", after first hearing Mr. Gibb reflect upon his aim to have his music touch our very spirits. For me, he succeeded brilliantly.
