While I'm at it, Robert Hunter died a couple of weeks ago. I've always had a soft spot for this:

Yeah,..I heard about Ginger. These days I feel everything I know and love is slowly going away. I hate getting old. 🙁

You and me both! I keep seeing 50th anniversary editions of albums I bought on release.
Here you go, amiga - have a freshly-baked ogg!

Liked that Cody! 😀
Ok, ok, maybe I am dwelling too much on the past but what to do?
Hmmmmmm
Oh I know! I will play something from the present number 1 from the UK's album chart. Yes, something new and modern. That will do it surely? 🙂
<chuckles> Case in point - I queued at my local record shop to buy Abbey Road the day it was released.
Here's a gem of a single from Chicken Shack, also released in '69
Beth Hart does a terrific rendition of that old classic!
Nurse, nurse - where's my medication?

No! Step away from the medicine Jar!
No! Step away from the medicine Jar!
I can't, I'm a medicine head!

Deep space, falling slowly in-system, drives on minimum, scanner clear, local time 00:55 - all is quiet. One a.m. approach!

Traffic, with Steve Winwood?
Ah yes, I remember him. I also remember him in Blind Faith. Shame him, Ginger, Eric and Ric Grech only made one album. 🙁
Before Blind Faith, before Traffic, he was in the Spencer Davis Group.
A very talented musician, and Traffic were a great band.
Chicago Transit Authority did a good cover of that.

I don't think Steve was ever in a bad band! 😀
