My first album was Thank Christ back in ‘70.. I loved that band so much. Nights listening to sessions on the transistor under the bedclothes when I should have been asleep, then sessions that I still have with mic taped to the radio’s speaker. So many good memories, gigs. Such a trooper, teaching himself to play again more than once after strokes. I last saw him with a version of the Hogs in the early 2000’s after one of those and his musicianship still shone through. He stood next to me at the bar after and I couldn’t say a word but oh how I owed the guy. One of my touchstones. RIP dude… thanks. So much.
