Just read Glyn John's book, 'Sound Man'.  Small Faces, Faces and Mac feature prominently.  RIP all.

RIP to someone who was (from all I ever heard) a really great guy. Loved the music too.

RIP, Mac.

I've seen him play here in Austin, and even spoke to him on a couple of occasions.  He really was a warm and charming person.  He will be missed.

He(and his wife before she passed) came to several of our shows, he was the happiest, sweetest person ever. He'd always come up to me and ask "Is EVERY bass player named Ronnie"? Never failed. A real loss to the Austin music community and the world.

Great guy! I just started reading his book for the umpteenth time. A great read and he signed my copy. I loved his piano, organ en wurly playing.

He was shocked when his wife Kim passed. Hop he's with her now. Of course she's the former mrs. Moon and Mac raised Keith's daughter.

Yes, she was the former Mrs. Keith Moon, but she was more than that.  As Kim Kerrigan, she was a famous model in her own right in the 1960s.
