Sad news. ALS, the same disease Jason Becker has.

I was going to post that same exact video.
RIP Dan. Probably not a household name but a big name among guitar players around this part of the country. Such a tasty player. Went down to ALS, such a shame

I always liked his playing on this song:

Sad stuff. I'm not really familiar with him as that's not really a period of the ABB that I'm familiar with, but sad nonetheless.

Man, I hate that Greg Allman song, too.

My dad emailed me this story. Very sad to see someone face something like ALS; I wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy.

I hear you man, I lost a friend to ALS, only 40 yrs.old. It took only 5years from diagnosis to demise.

ALS is a bitch and all too common (relatively) around my area. I'm certain the massive amounts of pesticides and herbicides in our water supply have nothing to do with it.

Sucks anytime someone goes down to that awful disease.
