I knew he was very old and one day he would pass. Still, it's sad news. I can't begin to say how much he meant to me - I saw him twice in London. He was a fine, fine man. He used to give the waitresses big tips at the end of his booking. Maybe through running the Alhambra and knowing the business.
I particularly treasure the video attached. I've played it many times to other musicians as a model of how to enjoy being on stage and making music together. It doesn't get much better.
