RIP Danny Federici

After a 3 year battle with Melanoma cancer, founding member of Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band, Danny Federici died last night. 
Federici was keyboardist and accordion player.  He, along with original drummer Vini Lopez asked Bruce to join their band. 
His contribution can be heard on almost every Springsteen song, my favorite moment being 4th Of July (Sandy).
After dropping off the current tour before the holidays he played with the band for a few songs in Indianapolis last month.  Most of us thought he was on the road to recovery so this news is certainly a bit stunning and sad.  The band has postponed dates for this weekend down south.
Rest in peace Danny.
