Seems like age is catching up.

Not a rock got, but very talented

Sucks. "Feels So Good" was an absolutely epic hit that is still great, today. Got kinda teary eyed when I played it at work today.

My high school marching band did the live version (Hollywood Bowl) of Children of Sanchez as our cadence entering the stadium.  College jazz band played CoS, and Feels So Good.  Chris Vadala, his Sax/Flute player passed a while back too.
Had always wanted to see them live.

So far this has been a really bad year for music. Sykes, Ozzy, Chuck,....

Ya, has really sucked.

Our era is passing. Both in game and music. All the same class

Ha! Fond memories. I was a drummer in middle school marching band in Indiana. Even played xmas parade in Chicago, when it was still huge. We may have played that.

Of course that trained drummer stuff rolled over into rock bands. Was a twirling stick hotdog. But then I figured out I could make mo money mixing sound for many bands than rolling the dice on a single 3,000,000 to 1 odds band.

If its a well done song I’ll listen. Genres are just labels. Skill is always worth a listen. I’ll even listen to symphonies. <shrug>
