So sad to hear this, today. My husband came in from work, today, really down about this. He's seen him 26 times since the 70's. I saw him twice in the UK. He was ONE HELL of a musician. For those not familiar with him:

I think guitarists should live longer.

Thanks for that link. This is a new discovery for me.

I admit I’ve never heard of him, but he was outstanding in that YouTube clip! Obviously a very talented guy.

Have to admit I never heard of him or solid air, even though I am from that era.

Nice song on the tube.

This is one of my faves of his. When I saw him do it live.....it BLEW me away!!!!!! RIP, Big Man!

I want to correct the RS article, there. He was Scottish, to be exact. :)

In a UK documentary he explained his later life and how he had one leg amputated below the knee.

Asked how he would like to be remembered he answered “As a rock leg-end.”

A tip of the hat and a fond farewell.
