Yeah, while he had a huge influence on music, he was a sh**head of a human being. Not going to mourn his passing.

A little before my time, but Jimmie Rodgers died last week. I do remember his song "Honeycomb" still playing on the radio during the '60s.

Sorry to hear this...I saw the trio 'Beck, Bogert and Appice' in 73 in Tampa...the music was mesmerizing...

When the guitars come back in after about an 9 minute drum solo (Morning Dew) was something I will never forget...
Another great rendition is Stevie Wonder's Superstition...

Mary Wilson, Supremes

RIP

Oh no... just saw this. I met her by happenstance at a luxury hotel top floor lounge in Tokyo 10 to 15years ago. I was sitting at the bar alone and she struck up a conversation. We were the only two at the bar. Her body guard didn't like it but she waved him away. We spent over an hour just chatting on random things on life. I didn't know who she was until she said she was performing solo 'here'. Then I took note of the little advertisement card in the clear plastic stand a couple feet on the other side of me.

I loved the fact that she was so down to earth and approached a mere mortal just for some innocent conversation out the 'blue'. She was a pleasure to speak with but she seemed a bit sad and lonely. Later I read her bio and learned that she lost her son in a car accident... same as my wife. I wish I would have known that then.

RIP Mary.

Sad... the Wailers were one of those bands that changed music.
