Hi, Listmates:

To add to the sad news about Brian Ogilvie's death: According to Duke' 
Heitger's dad, Ray, who called me after Brian died, Duke was actually playing a gig 
in Norway when a friend who was close to Brian's wife called to tell Duke that 
Brian was in the hospital and not expected to live. Duke found a sub to play 
his gig and rushed to Brian's side (what a terrific friend!), but Brian was 
already in a coma. His liver had failed and that led to all his other organs 
shutting down. Brian's wife flew to Scotland, but it was obvious that no recovery 
was possible. He died right after life support was stopped. Brian was an 
incredibly talented guy and his many friends are devastated by this news.
