Sad Sad City

If you're in any way, shape, or form familiar with the Dallas music scene, you understand the importance of yesterday's loss. Carter Albrecht was well known around here for his greatness in the local bands Sorta and The Sparrows. It's tragic the way that he died yesterday. I saw Sorta a few times and The Sparrows even more times and had always been impressed by them. Listening to Danny Balis of the Hardline, his bandmate and roommate, speak of him today set me straight on what a lot of the reports are indicating about him. I won't link to what was on the Dallas Morning News website as it appears to be a bit negative. I recommend reading what Sarah Hepola wrote that is linked on the Sorta web site.

It's a sad day for the Dallas music scene. My thoughts are with all of you out there who might have known him.
