Rest in peace, Mr. Black.

one thing rarely mentioned in the rapturous & adoring reverence for Zappa was his firing of the original Mothers.
A phone call "You're fired. Your last pay is this week". JCB said it was a cold way to do things.

Let's not forget the great meeting of what were two pioneers:
 
Brown, Black & Blue
 
Jimmy and Arthur Brown...

What sad news on the death of a great Drummer and unique personality....The mothers would have not been complete without Jimmy...What a fine legacy of albums he left behind....so i hope your enjoying the great gig in the sky.

I think i will get out and watch "uncle meat and Burnt weeny sandwich" to remind me of his great talent.
Lives of great men all remind us we must make our lives sublime and departing leave behind us footprints in the sands of time

"Jimmy passed away peacefully last night Saturday 11/01/08 at 11:00 o'clock pm. Jimmy says hi to everybody and he doesn't want anybody to be sad."

oh man, I cant' help it but that quote did make me feel sad! It's so sweet. I read on Jimmy's wikipedia page recently that Walter Becker (unsuccessfully) campaigned to have Jimmy accepted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I'm a big Steely Dan fan too, so I thought that was cool. I played a few Mothers' songs and two Geronimo Black songs on my radio show this week to remember him. They should have inducted him into that stupid Hall of Fame!
