Kim Simmonds,the glue that held Savoy Brown together for over 50 years has passed away from cancer.

I am so glad that I got to see them for the one & only time just before lockdown in London,I've been a fan since the 60's.

RIP to a Blues great.

Shocked to see Terry Hall has passed.

Band that defined my school days. Remember hearing Gangsters on John Peel and rushing out to buy it on single on the day it was released.

Vinyl 45  from a record shop on the Wembley High Road- happy days.

Not one written by him, but seems right this morning- the message and joy of the Specials.

For me this band was a perfect reflection of the mates I used to hang around with in the Army.

I was a council house boy brought up with gypsy families. In the Army I'd go out at night with lads from St Pauls in Bristol, then with a right fucking mixture from the S of I in Warminster, What  a bunch we were. RIR, me, Blacks, Indians from Brum, a fucking cracking bunch of lads.

Good times !!

Tom Browning was found unresponsive aged 62. Another athlete gone fairly young. This man accomplished the extremely rare feat of a perfect game, which only happens about twice a decade in Major League Baseball

Grew up watching this man often beat my Montreal Expos. I know @Yessongsremembers him well

Yeah he was a good pitcher for The Reds back in the day....nasty left handers always set me on my ass back in the day. 

RIP to him.

Christ, most of these guys are much younger than me.....

It's not so much the age though I am younger than them it's the fact that it's final and that era is gone forever.

Horrible life sometimes though none of us are here forever.

Merry Xmas 😆
