He will certainly be missed in the music field, as he truly was one of a kind.

Acker Bilk - Ramblin' Rose - YouTube

He was ubiquitous in my youth so his death makes me rather sad. It’s like another little piece of my childhood has gone. Acker Bilk was a household name back then but I doubt if anyone under 30 has ever heard of him. Influential jazz musician whose dexterity seemed unimpaired by finger-damage.
