Singer David Olney Dies During Performance at Florida’s 30A Festival

Singer-songwriter David Olney has died at age 71, after falling silent and dropping his head in the midst of a performance at the 30A Songwriters Festival in Florida Saturday night. Some news reports said he "collapsed" on stage, but that isn't quite true: Olney simply became still on his stool...

This was his set from early in the day. {or maybe the day before}
