Alan White, drummer with Yes, passes

[Buzz]

Saw him in L.A. in 1975, and one of the girls at the Yes merch booth gave me a bunch of free t-shirts. Heck, if I'da known these guys were gonna die, I woulda tried to talk the booth babe into getting the t-shirts autographed. Kept three t-shirts (1 yellow + 2 white), and gave the rest away. One of the white ones survived long enough for Baby Buzz to wear it as oversize pajamas.... he had a thing for my old, well-worn t-shirts.

Sorry about the passings of all these music greats, but I think part of dealing w/ the loss of the legends has to do with just how incredibly long their careers are able to be maintained. Many span multiple generations, so they imprint on entire families, not just ma and pa.
