This is really sad news, I got to know Steve when I lived in Florida. I have one of his CDs here. A good guy he was indeed.
I had no idea he'd been ill. Please pass on my condolences to his family.

Mike Wong and I went to see Tommy Emmanuel (with Richard Smith) play last night and tipped a beer to him. I played Steve's CD's both going to the concert and back again.
Steve was tremendously generous and giving. I remember spending time with him at Mark Blanchard's home near Mammouth Mt., CA when he was picking up "Big Red" and I was choosing woods for my guitar. We spent a fantastic weekend talking guitars, jamming, and enjoying life. Steve would always spend time to show you how to play a song and had great patience. He was a great talent and will be missed.

Here's a neat video Mike Wong shared of Steve and many of the Glades Gang at the 2005 Healdsburg Guitar Festival. We are in Lance McCollum's hotel room. The final video is of Steve playing a Mark Blanchard guitar. Steve loved Mark's guitars.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQ4e...ature=youtu.be I love how Steve always has a smile while playing!

...and thanks to you, Glenn, and to the other Mods for allowing this to stay in the general forum for at least a bit...an integral member of the national guitar-playing scene has passed away, and I did want to get the word out, here.

I am sorry about his passing. Seemed to soon. I knew Steve only thru his forum posts and vids.
I was once in FL for a mtg over 10 y ago, and had the evening free. Took a taxi across town - what seemed like half the state - to a restaurant I think where he was playing that night. He was a great showman in addition to his prodigious guitar abilities. I am glad I went and the audience was very responsive to his excellent performance. Many had obviously heard him before. I hope his passing was graceful. In addition to his other contributions, he has helped to bring attention to the plight of his pulmonary disease caused by side effects of bone marrow transplant for cancer (per this webpage from south Florida folk organization: http://wordpress.gotfolk.com/2015/03...ey-51159-3715/) Rest in peace, Steve. hans
