A good way to die - folk singer David Olney finished a song on-stage, closed his eyes, and passed...
Americana singer-songwriter David Olney died Saturday in the middle of his set at the 30A Songwriters Festival in Florida. Olney had played his third song from his set, took a pause, apologized and closed his eyes. He never dropped his guitar, or fell of hist stool. Singer-songwriter Amy Rigby, who was performing alongside him at the 30A Songwriters Festival, was there when it happened: "He was very still, sitting upright with his guitar on, wearing the coolest hat and a beautiful rust suede jacket".
