I always liked his music. Sad to have lost him.

With respect, Tubenit

we drove up from south texas to austin circa 1983 to catch heart. he and 10 years after were the opening act for heart - both shows rocked. he made guest appearance with heart and played white lighning and wine. he and howard leese traded solo's. it was a killer show.

parts of that album brad posted are in my playlist. he'll be missed.

Willabe and his hippie music.  We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee.

Kidding, I got to see Alvin Lee once.  Really enjoyed the show.  That night he was playing a Les Paul, the one that looks like an SG.  Black with 3 pups.  They were loud and he was playing faster than I had ever heard.

RIP.
