To honor that rock and roll great, Little Richard. I had the honor of meeting him in 1965 on a Purdue geology field trip in Birmingham, Alabama.
Wow... and how did I miss this: Brian Anthony Howe passed away 2 days ago. (This song is likely a repeat in this thread.)
Florian Schneider of Kraftwerk died a few days ago. One of the first albums I bought in 1974, returning to Purdue as a grad student after a stint in the Air Force, was Autobahn.
Missed it too. Great tune! One of my fav Bad Co tunes. RIP Brian.
USAF Pilot Medic in 1974, gleap. Gettin' out of nam then, just missed it. Thank you, Jesus!
I spent all of an hour or so in Nam at Tan Son Nhut Air Base going to a PACAF editor's conference in Bangkok. It was quite long enough for me, thank you very much.
Then back to Yokota AB in Japan for the rest of my overseas vacation.Learned to love Kirin beer and octopus in Japan.
Buddy of mine was in Kadena for a while. Interesting stories, but nobody died, eh?I spent all of an hour or so in Nam at Tan Son Nhut Air Base going to a PACAF editor's conference in Bangkok. It was quite long enough for me, thank you very much.
Check out this badass jam. Lightning Hopkins ? Sonny Terry ? Yes please.

....aaaand the quintessential Eddie Van Halen...
Unfortunately, the "burning embers" in the video would ultimately lead to his early demise.
It's interesting to note, he was supposed to be the drummer, but brother Alex took over his drum set, forcing him to move to guitar.
Wow, what we would have missed, had that move not happened...!
I recall a video interview, in which he talked about the friendship he forged with Les Paul.
RIP to one of the greatest guitarists.
