He was an exceptional musician who helped pioneer the SF sound during the "summer of love". I first saw him at the Monterey Pop Festival. He (with BB&TH) came on after Ravi Shankar bored me to tears, playing his trademark cherry-red SG Standard through a pair of blackface Dual Showman's. It was, in a word, awesome.

RIP, Sam -- you'll be missed by many.

:(

Ah, so sad.
Coincidentally, I had just acquired "Live at the Carousel Ballroom 1968", by "Big Brother and the Holding Company featuring Janis Joplin". A real piece of Rock history there.
