I never was very close to Nick Curran, not nearly as much as the musicians I know who were like brothers to him, though he always made me feel like his best friend whenever our paths crossed. Always encouraging, and always, always, the nicest guy in the room, he inspired everyone who knew him with both his talent and his giant heart. It’s true that the the good die young. Here’s to you, Nick, and the weird man crush it always felt like when we met…
