Big contributor to both Focus and Earth & Fire. I think he was actually married to Jerney Kaagman (E&F) at one point too. Good man. Sorry to hear he’s gone. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

R.I.P. - important bass player both in Focus and Earth & Fire and in music in general slowly but surely the old school boys are going to a more greener and calmer realms as time passing by, nothing we can do to stop that, sad, but how things are moving |
