I just found out that Willy DeVille died on the 6th. He never broke big although Storybook Love with Mark Knopfler did get a lot of video rotation.

Spanish Stroll was one of the songs of my youth, the year I turned 18. Whenever I hear it (rarely these days) it always takes me back to the room I lived in, a tiny cell in a block of flats in West Ham, right opposite the station.

That sucks. I had the great pleasure of seeing Mink DeVille share a bill with Elvis Costello and Nick Lowe way back in the day. Great stuff.
