My first ever gig was Purple and the very accomplished Mr Lord way back in the early 70s when they were touring In Rock. Me with my hair flowing down my back, resplendent in grey (faux) fur coat, pink bell bottom jeans & platform boots - ah, heady days! Lord's keyboard flourishes with Purple made so many of the band's songs & his other projects are also notable & worthy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-2891787012411864102012-07-17T07:22:45.964-07:002012-07-17T07:22:45.964-07:00Yes, three sad losses.

Bob joins Duck Dunn and James Jamerson in bass player All-Star heaven. And Jon Lord from Deep Purple, one of my favorite rock bands of all time.<br /><br />As my uncle use to say, when ya gotta go, ya gotta go, sooner or later, your numbers up.<br /><br />Oh and, let's not forget Celeste Holm.

I met him in 2007 at a "rock camp" in London and played with him at Abbey Road studios (he used the B3 and Leslies that live in Studio 2 there). He was a big, burly guy but so eloquent and A real gentleman. He spent two hours with us. We messed around on Hush and he showed how he developed that cool percussive intro (apparently a technique he aslo invented).Jeff Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03108880109700449182noreply@blogger.com
