I had the great pleasure to meet him a couple of times.  Really nice chap.  Very sad.

Great minds etc, Chip.  :)
Also, sadly, it gave me chance to post my recently-washed T, which must be 30 years old.

The holy trinity of rock!

The legacy of all three will last forever though. Lifetimes well spent.

My first major amps were two 100 watt Marshall heads, each driving two 4X12 cabinets.

They were a lot cheaper to buy in those days.

Still a handful to transport.
