I, too, am just a fan, someone who did not know Dick Fegy personally, but someone who has enjoyed David Bromberg's music and the compadres who helped him make it for over twenty-six years... Peter and his mute, Firman ("a grown man sucking on a saxophone"), Mr. C, fiddlin' Jeff, Butch, et al, and the man to David's left, Dick Fegy. It always looked to me that Dick was the catalyst whose sly smiles and seemingly effortless playing challenged and energized David and, as a point of pride, forced him to squeeze the hot licks out of his guitar. The profoundly touching memories that those who knew Dick have written here are testimony to his incredibly positive vibe and virtuosity. He will be sorely missed by all lovers of great American music, and all who knew and loved him have my sincere sympathy. See ya at the shows...
