The user concluded: “And when I think of Neil’s role in creating this music, I realize that I really did know him, in some ways even more than I know many people who’re frequently in my physical proximity because Neil was largely an open book, both figuratively and literally.  He extensively shared his art, experiences, thoughts, emotions, hopes, and dreams with us, and he did so with honesty and humility, without pretense.  And what he shared came from an especially sensitive, thoughtful, wise, and noble person who was especially worthy of listening to and learning from – a teacher and a friend.”
