A base player my husband knows died suddenly on November 2, 2009. He wasn’t answering his phone before a gig and the other musicians he was supposed to be working with that night went to his home and found him dead. I didn’t know him, but it’s such a sad story that I felt like I had to write something about it.

Smith played with a ton of people including The Waterboys, Leo Sayer and Tony O’Malley. Here’s a video of Smith preforming with Tony O’Malley at the 606 Club on October 19th of this year.
