Actually, Rick, he wasn't a large man at all. He was, however, a hell of an innovator and musician. As I recall, he is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Grammy Hall of Fame and the Inventor's Hall of fame. He will be missed.

Yep. He was a guitar and electronics genius who loved what he did. He had a lot of fun doing it, too (remember "Chester and Lester"?).
