Tape Op: A few words on Neal Casal from Tape Op publisher John Baccigaluppi:
“Tape Op lost a good friend when our pal Neal Casal left us all behind. Neal was a gifted guitarist, songwriter, singer, photographer, producer, surfer and just an all-around good dude.
“I was lucky to work with Neal on some recording projects and even more lucky to spend some time in the ocean with him surfing his home break in Ventura, CA and mine in Bolinas, CA.
“Neal shot the cover photo for Tape Op #76 and enthusiastically contributed photos and a short interview to our piece with Glyn Johns back in 2015, and you can see/read that here.
The article and photos turned out so well, I’m truly honored to be a part of such a landmark thing.
Thank you,
Neal”
“We’ll miss you buddy and I hope you’re getting some good long waves wherever you are. -JB”

I am so humbled, so grateful, so honored for every moment when I was having occular migrant seizures onstage, and only Neal saw.
He would walk over and give me this look.. “you can do it, Ryan”
My fingers locked in a seizure.
That kindness & brotherhood is once in a lifetime pic.twitter.com/4eeSefKTkl

The sad truth is that most fans of musicians expect music to save and fulfill the musician's life. As our careers roll on, this idea is loaded. Although we are all willing to be underpaid by listeners for our work to be heard, the burden is on our families to keep us alive. – I

What a tragedy. As a guest of our buddy, Todd Snider, last year,fronting Hard Working Americans, my wife and I hung out afterwards and loved Neal.
His playing and vibes were a thing of beauty. We’re heartbroken. RIP https://t.co/QyX4tAqIAK— Richard Lewis (@TheRichardLewis) August 28, 2019
