Wow...
I'm shocked. Only about 5 miles from my house, too.
Just heard...
about his passing. Here's two clips of the man himself...
this next one is with Lennon,Richards, and Clapton doing 'Yer Blues'! Never seen this one, and it's a bit bizarre at the start! The music starts at 1:07
makes me think...
...any other bands with no surviving members?
They may be the first
Although they're a trio, which obviously makes things, well... easier. We tried to think of others once before.
So long and thanks for all the Mitch
So long and thanks for all the Mitch
Just shows
We need to cherish our favourite musicians, old and young. We might not see their kind again. Farewell Mitch.
RIP mitch,
my favourite drummer of all time. i always stuck by him no matter how much my friends shouted "bonham" and "moon" at me...
Seasoned Drummer
Just reading wikipedia's biog of the Experience and it describes Mitchell as a "seasoned drummer on the London scene" at the time of joining Hendrix. He'd already played with Georgie Fame and the Pretty Things. Then I realised that they were talking about a chap who was 19! Unbelievable innit?
Stevie Winwood
was seasoned even younger!
Winwood
isn't even 19 yet is he?? :-)
