I owned Rick's Phast Jr. speakers for several years and enjoyed them greatly. He designed them so that some minor tweaking could be accomplished, which I greatly appreciated.

I have heard only good things about him.

One of the good guys in the industry.

I recently played organ on this collaboration of a Ray Charles and Nora Jones tune. Billy Preston played on the original. big shoes to fill. I'm no Biilly P but I felt like I was channeling him when recording it.

George Frayne, the main man in front of Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen, died on September 30, 2021.
They never had much popularity, but for some reason I really enjoyed them.

They were the first concert I ever went to- my older sister was going with three of her friends and I tagged along. I was around 12 or so; they were smoking pot on the way to the show at Farmingdale State College, and I just couldn’t believe I was there.

Three faves albums:

‘Lost In The Ozone’
‘Live From Deep In The Heart Of Texas’
‘We’ve Got A Live One Here!’

Just found out we lost Paddy Maloney of the Chieftens 10/12/21.
Saw them at Merlfest and found it to be quite refreshing. He performed on all 44 albums from the group.

Not as famous as some others, but I’ve heard his name and work many times throughout the years.

J. D. Crowe of New South and overall bluegrass fame has passed away.

He inspired legions of banjo pickers with his incredible virtuosity...

J.D., Tony Rice and Ricky Skaggs - enjoy :thumb: :

Yes, I enjoyed her and the Ronettes. Was curious about Phil Spector and wasn’t aware he died January 2021.
