I met him briefly when I volunteered at the Progday festival many years ago in North Carolina. He seemed like a nice guy. I was going to have dinner with him but the food was way too expensive for me so I left.

R.I.P. Jeff Beck
Just saw on FB... "On behalf of his family, it is with deep and profound sadness that we share the news of Jeff Beck’s passing. After suddenly contracting bacterial meningitis, he peacefully passed away yesterday. His family ask for privacy while they process this tremendous loss." |

Jeff was one of the greatest musicians of the last fifty or so years. His is a tremendous loss, indeed.

One of my central guitar influences. So lucky to have seen him perform. Incalculable loss. |

Not a celebrity, but a well-known and beloved figure in the US prog community, Rick Dashiell - a lovely guy, and one of the ProgDay regulars - passed away today. Having been away from Facebook for over a year, I had no idea his condition had deteriorated so badly. As much as I dislike social media, I wish I had been around to say goodbye to him. RIP Rick, my friend .

I was sad to see that Rick had died this morning, been thinking about him all week. What a class act he was. And dignified to the end. RIP Rick.

I just was going to post something about Rick but I'm glad to see others beat me to it. I knew Rick from some of the prog festivals (mainly Progday and Rosfest) and used to talk to him a bit. Others knew him better than I did but he was a facebook friend and I'm sorry to hear about his passing. He also hosted a radio show on Delicious Agony called the Rickter Scale. My condolences to his family and friends. RIP Rick.

Not sure if it has been posted elsewhere (and this is my first time visiting the forum in a loooooong time), but I don't see mention of it here, so RIP to Yukihiro Takahashi, who died on 11 January.
Known probably best for his work with Yellow Magic Orchestra and Japan, he also worked with many other musicians (including Kiwi musician, Zaine Griff), and had a rather extensive solo career. I am not familiar with too many albums (yet) from his solo career, but based on those I have listened to so far, I will definitely be listening to more. |
