Damn. They are all leaving us these days.
Time certainly DOES go by.
*Blah*
And I’ll be 40 next year. *SOB*
RIP - we still hear you playing, bro.

I was fortunate enough to actually see and hear Blue Cheer perform “Summertime Blues” at the Fillmore East back in the 60’s.

Great hard ass rebellious rock song.

Weren't they like "sludge" rock or something?

I might be thinking of Vanilla Fudge.
