It's a sad situation for sure...This occurred in the part of town I worked in for the first 9 years I worked for the cable company here. From what I understand, shit had been going on for years back and forth between the two, but they always just walked back inside their respective homes and life went on...His neighbor finally snapped I guess and that was it.

He was big in Texas in the early 70’s as a collaborator with Johnny & Edgar Winter. I was a fan of his for sure.

Did not know he was part of Hang On Sloopy from 1965. From there to Rock and Roll Hootchie Koo is quite the stretch. RIP!
