Another bad day as the drummer from Crosby Stills and Nash also died.......a really crap start to the year.

Oz, if my brain cells are still functioning as they should be with minor damage, then CSN's long time drummer Joe Vitale is still kicking along. I think Joe started playing with CSN around 1969 from my addled memory.
Dallas Taylor who was the drummer on CSN album Deja Vu died on January 18 2015, I think he may have been politely asked to move on due to his lifestyle choices IIRC .
I hope I'm right with the above info as there has been too many musicians taken in recent times.

Our modelling club lost our patron Lemmy last year, he was also a pretty good modeller as well.

Am I a devoted CSN fan.....you bet.


Cheers
Wayne

Wayne, curious to know how Lemmy became your patron, did he live in Ballarat at times?

Hi Graeme and Oz,

If I remember correctly, one of our members used to correspond with him. He could even be still on the clubs newsletter mailing list for all I know.
Though, I'd be in two minds as to which address to send it to, up or down. :(
I'll have to ask Dr.Evil on club night as to the whole story.
I was more into Hawkwind in Lemmy's early days which could say something about my youth. :D

Oz no more giving me frights like that :) It was bad enough when Crosby sold his schooner Mayan, which must have broken his heart.

How are you both hanging in up there Graeme?

Cheers
Wayne

Been a terrible start to the year, got some sort of throat infection on or about the 28th Dec that lasted until about this time last week, really laid me low.

I needed John Coffey to put his hands on me and blow some of those butterflies

Sorry to hear your New Year starting off like that. Hope the rest of the year gets a whole lot better.
Hang in there old mate.
