While I know he'd been unwell for a few years now, it still stings greatly.

The great Dave Cousins, founder of The #Strawbs, has left this earth for whatever shall come next after 85 years upon it.

His song "Benedictus" from the amazing album "Grave New World" takes pride of place atop my "Extra Chill" playlist; the songs I listen to for regrounding, calming, and keeping myself afloat.

The Strawbs' album "Ghosts" is also one of the most perfect albums start-to-finish I've ever heard as well. "Grave New World", "From The Witchwood", "Bursting At The Seams", and "Hero & Heroine" are also must-listens.

Thank you, Dave, for over 60 years of amazing music.
