    Indeed. But I am a boomer and we all know who he is.

    Yes, I very much know of him.

    As a young guy, he was one of my first celebrity crushes. I wrote him a letter - - and he wrote a nice letter back to me with a personalized-for-me signed photo.

    Sad news for me.


    And I first heard about Johnny Nash on this site, too.

    I'm so happy to hear from you WQ about Rafer. We Californians took special pride in him and for us he will always be one of the superb people! That was a very smart thing to you to do and now you have a wondrous keepsake from him. Thank you for your reply and Happy Friday to thee and thine. STAY SAFE m'dear! :)
