58 A Bad Year for Good Music, part 1
Yes, 2016 was notably bad for the passing of many fine musicians who have enthralled and entertained us as we grew. So many, in fact, that it will take several shows to mention even a few of them.
In this show we concentrated on just five: Bernie Worrell (P-Funk and Talking Heads amongst many others), Keith Gemmell (Audience and Stackridge, amongst others). Leon Russel (too many to mention), Greg Lake (ELP mostly) and Rick Parfitt (Status Quo).
Preshow was put together by Ed from earlier shows – I didn’t have time to do it myself, for reasons that are clear to those who listened to the show.
