Dobie Gray has passed. Drift Away
« on: December 08, 2011, 04:02:53 pm »
Lost the fight to cancer. He was 69.

Drift Away our friend, one last time. May you find peace now that your soul is free.

Play it again!

That's one of the few classics that crossed several boundaries. I loved it then. I still do. Drift away brother. Peace.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

Yep! Love the voice, the players parts, the rhythm, the lyrics, the melody. And (IMHO) like most great songs, it's got a great bridge.

No more looking for the light through the poring rain.

Sad news.  I love that tune, but I only like his version.
