It's amazing how our generation has got to experience some of the greatest players in the World and now, one by one we watch them slip away, and a lot of people who never listened will never know what they missed, as for us the musicians, we always will know because we never stopped listening, so let there legacy continue always..R.I.P Dickie bracheen Senior Member Username: bracheen Post Number: 1516 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Wednesday, October 14, 2009 - 3:15 am:    I loved Blue Cheer in the 60s.

I remember especially liking the first album with Summertime Blues and Parchment Farm.
