First Felix Papalardi killed by his wife in 83 for screwing around with another woman and now Leslie...

Mountain was the first band I "got". I was 14.

I had no idea why really, they were just, to me, cool.

Thanks, Tabs.

On to his next Nantucket Sleighride. RIP bro.

Found a Jack Bruce youtube of a solo Theme.

Funny how music affects us. Always aware of their music, but never much of a "Mountain" man, for me it was Rainbow, Grand Funk, Deep Purple, Foghat.

A person's "tribe" probably has a lot to do with that.

Godspeed, Leslie.

Damn. I read that Tony Rice is gone as well. RIP. Thanks for the music.

I attended a couple of Mountain concerts at the Fillmore. Liked how he carried his guitar low. Just watched a few Gary Moore videos. Boy oh boy he was a fantastic guitar player.
