Thank you for the music Ron, you were a hell of a bouncy meaty bopping and kickass bassist!! 
I´m playing Pudding in Gisteren absurdly loud in your honor.

That was actually my first Supersister experience - which means that 'A girl named you' was the first Supersister track I ever heard. WHAT A BAPTISM!!!
 
Truly! A single edit of this song was released in the early spring of 1971, when I was 11. I recorded it, and five or six other contemporary songs, with a tape recorder. This song was my favourite by far in these days and one of the first songs (the second to be precisely - the first was Ekseptions Italian Concerto, a B-side) that got me into prog.

Sorry to hear that. I'll probably be playing Iskander tonight as a tribute to him.
