Chez Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 What a loss. R.I.P., John. "Flag Decal" was one of the first songs I learned to play on the guitar -- a long time ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GtrPlyr Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 He is one of my all-time favorite songwriters. This one hit me hard. I was so bummed when he had to cancel performing at the New Orleans Jazz Fest last year. I was hoping I'd still get a chance to see him perform... maybe one day.
