"David was playing a song when he paused, said 'I'm sorry' and put his chin to his chest. He never dropped his guitar or fell of his stool. It was as easy and gentle as he was. We got him down and tried our best to revive him until the EMTs arrived. The world lost a good one last night. But we still have his work. And it still inspires. And always will. RIP."
Olney was a revered figure in the folk-rock and Americana communities who had recorded 20 albums of his own as well as having his songs covered by Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Del McCoury and his former roommate Steve Earle. Harris, in particular, brought attention to Olney as a songwriter with her covers of"Jerusalem Tomorrow" in 1993 and"Deeper Well" on her essential 1995 album"Wrecking Ball."
RIP
So sad, but what a beautiful way to slip away from the world.
So sad....

I'm sure we will be seeing many more deaths on stage. Right, VerizonSupport TMobileHelp & all other Telecoms braggards promoting the scam of 5G bombardment spreading now to interrupt safe conduction of heart & brain messaging for humans EVERYWHERE! Gee, thanks Dudes!💔⚡📡
It's very creepy how some people just seem to know when their time is up.
You can’t ask for a better exit. RIP
