R.I.P. Rick Davies

When I´m first time heard “Even in the Quietest Moments” album I was sold. Completely. And I´m still big fan of them.

I was always a big fan of Supertramp having a few of their albums, on vinyl of course.

I listened to them all the time when I was younger. They had some of the best music and lyrics out there.

Or the strength of an Oak with roots deep in the ground.

Hey Lights, we are loosing so many of our musicians lately. Supertramp made music that boosted the mood and made you feel good! They sounded so good on my old million watt stereo with humungus studio monitors.

Yes, It’s sad to loose another great musician and composer! And I absolutely loved Rick Davies jazzy piano playing. Supertramp has always been one of my all time favorite bands.
Their music is timeless.

More Blues!

Another one bites the dust. Lately I’ve been checking on Youtube to see how many of the oldtime rockers are still out there. I saw a recent concert by The Doobie Brothers, and they looked incredibly healthy, and sounded pretty much the same as they always have. And then there’s The Rolling Stones, with Mick Jagger still out there jumping around the stage like he always has done. He doesn’t seem to be aging much at all, and that’s because he was so skinny he already looked aged when he was 20. I know when he tours he has two separate tour buses, and one contains nothing but his gym. I saw it in Orlando one time.

Mick has always looked after himself. Even after heart surgery he was back in the gym within weeks. Keef on the other hand has chosen to pickle himself using a variety of chemicals. It seems to be equally effective though.

All these 70s icons falling off the perch . A constant reminder of the march of time 😌
Supertramp were a sound track to my youth,
So many great songs. I was hooked from their debut “crime of the century” album. “School”, the first track, is impossible to play quietly. I’ve tried many times, but it can’t be done.
