“He had an extraordinary ability to harness magic in the room that no one else could see,” said MCKENNA.
"We always wrote great songs together,” said another longtime collaborator, CHRIS TOMPKINS. “The first time we met, we were instant friends. I’m so thankful for the good times we had and the beautiful songs.”
