YARMOUTH, Maine (AP) — Bill Chinnock, an instrumentalist, singer and songwriter who was a founding member of what later became Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, died Wednesday at his home here. He was 59.
Mr. Chinnock’s manager, Paul Pappas, told WCSH-TV, Portland, that he had committed suicide after being afflicted with Lyme disease.
Mr. Chinnock was a blues and roots rock stylist who played guitar and keyboards as well as sang and composed music.
A Newark native, he was a founder of the Asbury Park, N.J., music scene that propelled Springsteen to stardom. He fronted a band that included many future Springsteen musicians, including Danny Federici on organ, Vini Lopez on drums, and Garry Tallent on bass, according to the Web site Backstreet.com, which is dedicated to Bruce Springsteen and New Jersey music news.
Mr. Chinnock moved to Maine in the early 1970s, and the other musicians eventually connected with Mr. Springsteen.
Mr. Chinnock made 13 albums, on labels including Paramount, Atlantic and Backstreet, as well on as his own label.
In addition to performing in Maine and around the country, he wrote music for films and television. In 1987 he won an Emmy for musical direction and composition for his song “Somewhere in the Night,” used as theme music for the soap opera “Edge of Night.” A duet he later recorded with Roberta Flack became a theme song for the soap opera “Guiding Light.”
His albums include “Badlands,” “Alive at the Loft,” “Dime Store Heroes,” “Livin’ in the Promised Land” and “Out on the Borderline.”

LYME DISEASE SYMPTOMS IN MAN
In about 50% of the cases a characteristic rash or lesion called erythema migrans is seen. It begins a few days to a few weeks after the bite of an infected tick. The rash generally looks like an expanding red ring. It is often described as looking like a bull's-eye with alternating light and dark rings. However, it can vary from a reddish blotchy appearance to red throughout. And can be confused with poison ivy, spider or insect bite, or ringworm. At about the same time that the rash develops, flu-like symptoms may appear with headache, sore throat, stiff neck, fever, muscle aches, fatigue and general malaise. Some people develop the flu-like illness without getting a rash.
Seek prompt medical attention if any of these symptoms appear, especially after being bitten by a tick or visiting an area where Lyme disease is common. If possible document the presence of the rash by taking a picture because it may disappear before a physician can see it. A picture in this case is worth 10,000 words!
If ignored, the early symptoms may disappear, but more serious problems can develop months to years later. The later symptoms of Lyme disease can be quite severe and chronic. Muscle pain and arthritis, usually of the large joints is common. Neurological symptoms include meningitis, numbness, tingling, and burning sensations in the extremities, Bell's palsy (loss of control of one or both sides of the face), severe pain and fatigue (often extreme and incapacitating) and depression. Heart, eye, respiratory and gastrointestinal problems can develop. Symptoms are often intermittent lasting from a few days to several months and sometimes years. Chronic Lyme disease, because of its diverse symptoms, mimics many other diseases and can be difficult to diagnose.

I used to get injections of novocain in my jaw, on one side, and I looked like I had Bell's Palsy for a day. Kind of like Mrs. Buttafuoco. I was worried that my face would stay like that forever. |
