RIP David Olney (3/23/1948 - 1/18/2020) WUWF Session at 30A Songwriters Festival 2020 WaterColor Boathouse - Santa Rosa Beach, FL 1. Bluebonnet Girl (Jack Murray) 2. James Robinson 3. Jerusalem Tomorrow 4. Running From Love David Olney passed away during a 2nd performance at the festival later in the day. According to fellow singer-songwriters Amy Rigby and Scott Miller, who shared the Boathouse at WaterColor stage with him, Olney simply went silent while singing his third song, a cover of Jack Murray’s “Bluebonnet Girl.” "Olney was in the middle of his third song when he stopped, apologized and shut his eyes. He was very still, sitting upright with his guitar on, wearing the coolest hat and a beautiful rust suede jacket we laughed about because it was raining like hell outside the boathouse where we were playing- I just want the picture to be as graceful and dignified as it was, because it at first looked like he was just taking a moment." - Amy Rigby "David was playing a song when he paused, said “I’m sorry” and put his chin to his chest. He never dropped his guitar or fell off his stool. It was as easy and gentle as he was." - Scott Miller
