One by one...


Give it a decade and most of them are going to be gone.

incredibly sad.
but a fact of life. for me at my age - most of my musician idols are 15+ years older...and by consequence had been waving a middle finger
at the Reaper for a while before he finally caught up with them
Dio, Lord, Harrison, brian connolly, bolder, etta james, burke, capaldi, zevon, ronnie montrose, rick wright, isaac hayes, entwhistle, baldry, brad delph, pitney, fontella bass, james brown, cale, denver, diddley , womack, south, rafferty, cozy, gary moore, gallagher and ronnie lane
that's just the one who made music that I liked.
music world seems such an empty place without them - last 15 years or so have been loss after loss

Brenski: Steve Marriott.....he can't be forgotten, can he?



Tom

yeah - of course he's missed - i just mentioned the last 15 years or so - that I missed.
Marriott was same year as freddie.

what's his connection to Brian now...............(the Brian May curse)
