ISSUE #90 ANTJE DUVEKOT interview JESSE WINCHESTER interview DANNY O'KEEFE interview . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Tim Krekel, one of the great guitarists and songwriters of our age, passed away on June 24, 2009. He died in his hometown of Louisville, with family and friends, after a short bout with cancer. He was highly respected and much loved in Nashville, where he spent a lot of time before relocating back to his roots in 1993. Tim wrote songs and hits for Patty Loveless, Martina McBride, and Crystal Gayle. He also co-wrote "Sleep (Anywhere On Earth You Are)" for Alan Jackson with Danny O'Keefe. He also toured with Jimmy Buffet. I knew Tim some personally; he was an incredibly nice and gracious man. His wry charm and quiet intelligence belied his street savvy and his sense of humor. I saw him a lot on stage or in rehearsal, even, and he was a natural bandleader and the perfect accompanist, depending on the situation. The man could rock and roll like a sonofabitch, and he played soul and country and blues like they all grew from the same tree. He was in a very small group of absolutely natural guitarists I've had the pleasure to know, and that is something to behold. It certainly was in Tim's case--his playing could make you cry or laugh out loud, he put so much feeling into it. Cat was a guitar man, and will always be one of the greats in my book. Sail on, Tim. Your friends and your fans will treasure your memory, and we'll raise a glass when we listen to your music. • FG 1. Best Thing I Never Had . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
