Twenty five years without one of the finest keyboardists in all of rock. What the hell?

His name isn’t one that most people would recognize, but you have definitely heard the man’s playing. “Jealous Guy”, capturing John Lennon’s melancholic guilt and regret. “You Are So Beautiful”, enhancing Joe Cocker’s voice and making the song that much more haunting and lonely. The otherworldly piano groove of The Stones’ “She’s A Rainbow”, The attack of The Beatles’ “Revolution”.

Nicky gave everything to make the songs the absolute best they could be. He always seemed to know just what to make a song that much better, selflessly offering his talent and insight. Due in large to Chron’s Disease and other health issues, Nicky could not join any band long term, which is a damn shame because he deserved it.

But for now, I want this great man remembered for all he gave us.
