The Tommy stuff is so good, I forgot how good it is

I listened to "Especially For You" last night for the first time in years. So many good songs.
"Hand of Glory" made me wonder if the album was in John Squire's rotation at the time -- the verses are very "Waterfall."

Love 'Behind the Wall of Sleep'. Opening line is one of my favourites, just such a concise and evocative image.

I got to know Pat a bit over the years. He was a great guy, and very talented.

Saw them a few times in the Green Thoughts/11 era whenever they came through LA. Never met Pat, but did talk to a super-boisterious Jim Babjak who gave me a guitar pick, revealed that the secrets to their songs was to tune the guitars down a step and play the Kinks ("tune down twice and you'll get Sabbath!") and said that playing on stage with Dave Davies was like playing baseball with Mickey Mantle.
RIP Pat. Those first four albums are master-classes in solid guitar-pop songwriting.
