DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

[Harris HTM]

Eddie Van Halen, 65 of throat cancer. Van Halen was one of rock's cleanest and tastiest guitar "heros," fronting his own band and playing on recording by other notable musicians.

Sorry for his passing... The Spencer Davis Group could bring it. Can't place that guitar at all though... rare for me. Looks like some Italian job.

Harmony Stratotone Jupiter

Thanks I thought it looked weird. Wonder how much they paid him to play that thing? My lead guitarist has some Harmony and Silvertones from that era. More buttons and switches than gold braid on a French Admiral. We spent half a practice one night trying to figure out what they all did!

He was a great writer, and this is the very song I think of when his name is mentioned. I hope, somewhere, he is living forever...
