Erik "Whaleshark" Pietsch passed away today. For anyone who ever encountered him at one of his shows, or performing in the parking lot of a Jimmy Buffett show, he was instantly your friend. Such a great, easygoing guy. He'll be missed.
I'm going to mix some Captain Morgan and some Parrot Bay in his honor.
Sail On, Whaleshark

Never saw him, but had heard of him. How sad.

Crud, he was such a fun guy, I feel so lucky that we got to see him play and meet him.
Thanks for letting us know, Captain P.
Sail on, Erik.
