Thank you for that, Sushiman.

You can probably tell from my sig line that I am a bass player.

The first music I ever played either on guitar or bass was the music of the Kinks.

Every band I was ever in, whether we did covers or originals, blues or rock or general biz, always did the Kinks songs.

I saw all those YouTube Videos the FIRST time they were on TV.

This is like losing a part of my life.

Oddly, I feel it more then when George Harrison passed away. The Kinks’ Music was much more fun to play than the Beatles, so I felt closer to the Kinks.

I’m with ya man ..born in 1952 . I’m a drummer BTW ...Every band I was ever in did a Kinks cover ! And I was in my first band in 1965 ! Hey- I remember Shindig and Hullabaloo , too ! hehe...Every time my Mom would go shopping in the 60’s the first thing I would do is head for the record section to see if a new Kinks album was out !
