 Photos I took at shows... 

Dallas Good died about a year ago of "natural causes". He was 48. There's nothing natural about that. I took that photo at Lee's Palace in Toronto a bunch of years ago. Long live The Sadies. 

The other photograph is of Vic Chesnutt. He's from Athens Georgia. He played a show in Vancouver in 2008-ish and that's where I took the photograph. He was dead a year later. A car accident put him in a wheel chair in 1983. Technically he was a quadriplegic, only being able to play "simple chords" on a guitar. A moody and brilliant musician that fought depression, he died of an overdose of muscle relaxants he took to manage his pain from the accident. His ex-wife by default owns the rights to all things Vic Chesnutt and has refused to release anything posthumously. It's a shame.
