Cliff was widely considered one of Madison’s greatest musicians and was beloved by many. I cannot locate an obituary, but many are posting on this Facebook page and this Facebook page to lament his passing last week.

If you aren’t familiar with Cliff, here is a documentary that starts with his upbringing in St Louis, beginnings in music, stories from the road, and how he ended up in Madison. The second part of the video, starting at 23:43, is Cliff playing solo guitar and singing, demonstrating his mastery in many genres.
