>> Edie Brickell/Paul Simon keyboard player shot dead

Jeffrey Carter Albrecht, keyboardist in Edie Brickell & New Bohemians, died early yesterday morning (September 3) after being fatally shot.

According to reports Albrecht was at his girlfriend's house in Dallas, Texas, and around 4am went to her next door neighbour and knocked on the door.

When he did not get a response, Albrecht reportedly became persistent and was shot when the neighbour apparently believed a burglar was trying to break in says the Associated Press.

Albrecht was a member of the New Bohemians since 1999, and had also performed on several occasions with Brickell's husand Paul Simon. He also played keyboard and guitar and sang in the Dallas rock band Sorta. <<

I guess the lesson here is, if you live in Texas, don't bang on your neighbor's door in the middle of the night....

I aparently knew the shooter, I got a call from a friend of mine in Dallas
who filled me in on some of the details. We we're both in shock. In no way do I want to minimize the victims families grief but I can't believe
what he must be going through right now. I just wanted to say that he
was not some gun toting redneck texas yahoo and that this is not something that he ever would've wanted to occur, This is all so sad.

wonder what Ted Nugent thinks about all this
