My heart breaks for Danny’s family, I know his children. I had the pleasure of playing with Danny once. For the past few years, his daughter Maddy, was my student in my rock band class. The children lost their mother about a year or so ago and now their father. Devastating news.

: Bruce Springsteen's long time keyboard player,
: Danny Federici, died this past Thursday from
: Melanoma. He and Bruce played together for
: 40 years, since their frist bands as
: teenagers, and Danny's organ and accordian
: playing helped define the E-Street Band
: sound. Prior to his death, Danny wrote a
: message advocating the need to protect our
: skin from the sun:
:
: “What people take for granted on a daily
: basis, among so many other things, is their
: skin. I spent my life, like many others,
: catching some rays, surfing, hanging out in
: the sun and it never bothered me until now.
: Who knew that something as simple as a
: proper sunscreen or keeping yourself covered
: up on a sunny day could one day save your
: life? Our culture looks at a nice tan as a
: sign of luxury. We spend time in tanning
: booths when we can't go to the beach or lay
: by the pool. It's time to think again.
: Especially if you're fair skined, have
: freckles, or light eyes. Be aware of the
: dangers, take precaution, and have yourself
: checked out regularly by a dermatologist
: from head to toe. It could absolutely make
: the difference in your life." - Danny
: Federici
:
: Something to think about as Summer comes
: along.
