First Vince, now Billy. Not a good week for keyboard players. I didn't realize Billy had been in a coma for the last 7 months. Another of the greats is gone. Peace. Bill, tgo |

I heard about this on the evening news. For those of you who have a copy of the Concert For George, now would be a good time to put on My Sweet Lord. |

We're getting old, folks. It is painful to know that I will have to endure all of my heroes' passings, unless I go first. 'Miss you... John |

John, don't feel old. i'm 26 and i absolutely love Billy's music. something about the soul and spirituality of the way he played, and the beauty of the truly amazing voice. excuse me, i must go put "Behold" on the turntable. |

Dave thanks, "Thats the Way" video was awsome. I'm going to have our team learn that for our church. I still have goose bumps! |

I heard about this late last night on the radio. Very sad. What was worse was that BBC radio 2 were struggling to find a Billy Preston recording to play as a tribute! My abiding memory is of his performance on the concert for Bangladesh. especially when George is introducing the band... "We've forgotten Billy Preston!" As if!.... Graeme |
