So, about an hour into my morning drive, I heard that one of the true legends of perhaps my favorite musical instrument had passed over the weekend after a bout with lukemeia.

 

This is one of the relatively few times that I actively wish TMD were still on the board.  He and I shared an appreciation for his incredible talent (Squire's, not TMD's), which spanned 2 decades and several iterations of the band he founded.  Despite his illness, he was still playing on stage last year.

With Jack Bruce, Andy Fraser, and John Entwistle gone, I hope Geddy Lee, Roger Glover, and John Paul Jones are taking their vitamins.

 

Rest in peace, Chris, and thanks for some great notes.

When I was young I tried my hand at guitar. I listened to Jimi Hendrix and realized I needed to lower my expectations. I gave bass a try, thinking it might be easier. Then I listened to Roundabout.

 

RIP
