Finding out that Eric Carmen, my all-time favorite singer/songwriter/musician for 45+ years, passed away was heartbreaking. Still is. Just days before I heard the news, I googled Eric, wondering if he was going to tour again. I saw him and some of his former Raspberries bandmates perform about 18 years ago. I had an opportunity to meet Eric in person at a mixer prior to the concert, but I was too shy. Kicked myself in the butt ever since.R.I.P., Eric Carmen!
RIP, Dickey. May you enjoy Blue Skies for all eternity.

He sure could play purty.
Indeed he could.

The legends are all leaving us. RIP, sir.
ABB had two drummers? Oh now I’m gonna listen more closely! As a long-time Deadhead I love the two drummer setup - I can only name one other band with it (Slipknot) but then I haven’t researched the topic at all either (I bet I would be surprised).As a musician, I heard "Live at the Fillmore East" about a million times in High School and College. A VERY interesting band. Never understood the two drummers thing but hey.... it worked for them. I respect their melding of genres and styles. There were some REAL musicians in that band. Sorry to see another one gone.
