Christopher Becker Whitley
August 31, 1960 - November 20, 2005

Chris was easily one of my biggest musical influences in the last fifteen years... Born in Texas... grew up in Vermont and New York. Moved to Belgium, married and had a daughter, Trixie, who still lives there... Moved back to New York - released some twelve albums... awesome songwriter, unique guitarist... Amazing man. Died Sunday of complications from lung cancer. There will never be another like him, ever again.
