I woke up on the 4AM twilight morning of November 11, 2023 with my subconscious DJ spinning "rudy with a flashlight" (One of the most beautiful yet simple songs by Rainer). Then I got up to touch my guitar and make some tea. I looked up his born/died dates on the internet ,and was amazed to see his anniversary date was November 12. The world is a totally mysterious place -- I don't even pretend to explain away "COINCIDENCE". I just allow myself to feel the beauty surrounding it. Rainer was the earliest person in my life (professinoal musician-wise) to give me a note of recognition for my drumming. As a very young and isolated 19 year old, a mere appreciative encouraging nod really counted for a lot. Thanks Rainer, for having ears ! For having a heart, and being true to that heart.
He's just amazing. I learned about him by accident. Went to a John Fahey and Nels Cline gig which was a benefit for Rainer. Rainer's performance blew my mind and I've been a fan ever since. Feel so lucky I got to see him.
Never knew he had died. I bought Worried Spirits back in 1992 while at University. Loved "Tasted Better Going Down". What a shame great musicians pass away at such a young age.
Just read that Rainer has passed on a few years back. I'm sad about that and this song seems appropriate for the moment. Thanks for all the great shows in Tucson I got to see you at Rainer.

It's the way his voice cracks a little that seems to add to the poignancy of it for me.
