"My brother was a beautiful soul that spent all his life respecting and honouring the memory of many great musicians before him. He worked hard to be an incredible guitarist but he worked even harder to bring joy and love to people. He sacrificed all he had just to be able to reach in to hearts and plant seeds of peace through blues. İ am proud to say his instrument was his shrine and his respect for every note and tone was almost sacred. His message reached millions as they mourned with us. Music should never be under estimated..Thanks for acknowledging the greatness of what he did.. Only musicians believe a song can change the world and they suceed to do so through nothing but a pure and kindred heart and a guitar. God bless you all."'
