Also....Buffin and Dallas Taylor
« on: January 18, 2016, 07:43:50 PM »
This has been the week when we realize that we, and all those musicians we grew up listening to, are in the autumn of our lives.

RIP Dale Griffin aka Buffin (Scott has already been posting on FB.  I'm a huge Mott fan from way back,  and got to see them live)

RIP Dallas Taylor. (sigh...I'm getting old, and everyone is posting all over.  This was a year ago today.)

i saw mott in october of 1974. i got to hear most of my favorites at that point. buffin's death from early onset alzheimer's must have been a hard way to go. :sad:

They put their drum sticks down for good. We're entering a phase where a whole music generation is saying good-bye.
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...
