Sadly yet another has drifted to the great beyond. I loved playing bass to the songs written by this Indiana native. http://www.alligator.com/news/index.cfm/nID/689/t/Lonnie-Mack%2C-July-18%2C-1941---April-21%2C-2016/ | ||

Here he is with Stevie Ray Vaughan, who cited him as a major influence. One thing that the passing of all these musicians has done is to cause us to revisit them and their music, listening to things we haven't heard in a while, perhaps with new ears and a deeper appreciation. | ||

Wow! The drummer in the Carnegie Hall vid is Jimmy Heidenreich; I spent the first 3 months of 1980 on the road with him, doing the midwest hotel-lounge circuit with "Holidaze, Featuring Doc & Linda Holiday" (yes, it was as bad a gig as it sounds like). I had forgotten he went on to play with Lonnie. Great clip of a bunch of superb players. Peter |
