Word is that Homeboy Steve, known here as "homeboy", passed due to COVID-19. Can't say I knew him well, but definitely chatted here and I know a lot of NYC folks saw him play around town and knew his huge love for this band.

Devastating loss. Only met him once or twice. communicated with him all the time. this MFer loved Duane.

I started drinking tequila when i heard about this... It's really bad in New York and environs, guys. He's just a number, but he's so much more. No one is a number, and every number is a someone.

That's beautiful. Hey, careful with that tequila, man! it can sneak up on you with a stick and turn your skull into a piñata.

Heartbroken to hear 🙁

I’ve never played this record before, as it’s a bit special because of the signatures. It’s getting played today though.

Damn.

Very disheartened to hear this news. Such a shame.

I never had the honor of meeting Steve in person, wish I had. His posts and PMs were always very thoughtful and genuine. A true lover of Duane and the original lineup.

Rest In Peace Homeboy.
