Ralph Towner passed away a couple of days ago. I was aware of a few videos of Ralph performing Jim Pepper's Witchi Tai To, and when I went looking, I found 10 videos of Ralph playing the song in various configurations on both guitars and keys. Solo. Duo with Gary Peacock. Ralph Towner Trio. Three live shows with Oregon and on four Oregon albums.
