Merry Christmas to All!
I would like to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 2020 has been a terrible year in a lot of ways and things aren’t looking to get better anytime soon. We’ve had the pandemic and the passing of many great rock stars. Now, it’s my sad duty to add one more to this sad list. Leslie West, guitarist in the band Mountain passed away yesterday. This means the year is going out in the same sucky way it came in.
But enough gloom for now! Reading your posts and having you read and comment on mine has made a big difference this year. I hope everyone enjoys their Christmas. May those who indulge get plenty drunk and eat lots of turkey and sweets. I leave you now with Mountain’s best known song, “Mississippi Queen” and three alternative versions of the carol “Deck the Halls.”
Merry Christmas to all!

Happy Christmas! I reckon we got off pretty lightly in rock star deaths this year though – the worst is still to come.

This year wasn’t as bad as 2016 but there were still a lot of deaths. I think you’re right though, the worst is yet to come.

I guess Eddie Van Halen was pretty young, and Peart was out of the blue.

Leslie West died? Aw man. Fun that he looks like he’s yawning in that pic (above), though. I love it.
Still, all the best to you and yours!

Yes, he does now that you mentioned it. Maybe he died of boredom.

Oh I doubt it. That man had monster riffs in his blood and blues rock in his soul.
