Dan Federici 1950-2008

I am a Bruce Springsteen fan. I am sure most of you don't know that. Yesterday at Costco I picked up the latest album from Bruce Springsteen and the E Street band. Inside was a eulogy for Dan Federici who died of lymphoma in April 2008. He played the organ and sometimes the accordian for the band. He was one of the first members of the E Street band and was involved with Bruce in another band in the late 60's. He was a wildman on the keyboard and really got into his music. I looked for him on the Super Bowl halftime show and could not pick him out and now I know why. His son filled in on the accordian in a couple of the albums songs.
