I received a text message yesterday from Tommy Hamilton (Brothers Past, American Babies) about the news of E Street Band keyboardist Danny Federici's passing. He was 58, and had been battling cancer for the past three years.
I've talked about Bruce and the E Street Band with musicians before, especially Tommy. I think there's a part in all of us that wants to play a rock song that provides endless inspiration.
Well played, Danny.
