I am very, very sad to have to learn that Mickey Newbury died last night. Although I never met him personally, he gave me so very much with his songs (music and words). There are some very good singers and songwriters I admire and collect - but Mickey Newbury was the undisputed No. 1 for me.

It is especially sad for me as my Sri Lankan wife (I am an Austrian) will give birth tonight to our first son. I do not think it happens often that such a good event and such a sad event occurs at the same time.

I give my most sincere condolences to all of the Newbury family and friends and fans. Although I posted messages very rarely only I read the chat-messages as often as possible.

Mickey and his music can and will never be forgotten!
